THE ROCKAWAY CEMETERY RECORDS. 



In the interest of local history and 
genealogy of the old Morris County 
families these records have been ar- 
ranged. It is a grave subject ; the 
threads of romance were woven many 
years ago by the honored names now re- 
called to memory. 

In the arrangement the names are 
given with the date of birth and death, 
alphabetically and also chronologically, 
with parentage and family connection 
as far as known to the writer. 

All the monumental records have been 
carefully copied and compared with 
church records, family records, local 
newspaper files and other records, and 
corrected from the best information ob- 
tainable. The records of burials have 
been carefully recorded by the present 
sexton, Mr. John G. Mott, since July 
1875, and the whole work carefully re- 
vised by him. The average date be- 
tween death and burial has been three 
days, and the date of death has been 
given and corrected from the monu- 
mental aud other records. 

There are no records of the sextons 
previous to this date. Could these rec- 
ords have been arranged at the time of 
the "old sexton," Mr. David Gordon, who 
for over forty years faithfully filled that 



office, much could have been added. 
The church and monumental records 
have only partially filled this space. 

Rockaway was settled as early as 
1720, and became a place of con- 
siderable business in 1730 in the build- 
ing of the Job Allen Iron Works. Tra- 
dition relates that this particular spot 
had been selected as a burial ground, 
God's acre, by the early families, but 
their names have not been recorded out- 
side of the Allen and Jackson families. 
At a later period, 1740 and 50, we have a 
goodly number in the immediate vicini- 
ty, and those connected with the build- 
ing of the Church, 1752, and later those 
connected with the church, 1758 to 1708, 
the number of names increased rapidly. 

In the researches of the ancient buri- 
als, many are known to have been 
buried here, but the dates of births and 
deaths cauuot now be obtained. Many 
of these old families having removed at 
an early date and all records have been 
takeu with them. Traces of many of 
these old families have been found and 
much valuable information has been 
gained by correspondence. So many 
facts aud traditions relating to the older 
families, their history aud connection 
with old Rockaway have been learned, 



that the Cemetery records would not be \ 
complete without knowing more about j 
these connections. These brief histories 
and genealogies may prove more enter- 
taining thau the Cemetery records, and 
are reserved for the last. 

Special research has been made of 
those located here, who have served in 
the, old French and Indian War, the 
Revolution, and the 1812 War, and those 
connected with the militia at a later 
date. These have been most difficult to 
obtain, as the State records have never 
been completed in this line. The boys 
who wore the blue in 1861-5, comrades 
must not be forgotten, nearly 150 of 
these ancient and modern worthies have 
answered the final roll call, and are uow 
resting in peace from their patriotic 
and warrior services in this cemetery. 

Cemetery statistics show some strange 
results. The Morristown Bill of Mor- 
tality from 1770 to 1775 records about 
200 burials there in five years. One hun- 
dred of these were children below 15 
years of age ^15 of the whole number 
died of old age. The hardships and pri- 
vations of this period, the want of prop- 
er food, clothing and medical attendance 
had much to do with this, but the later 
date records do not show any improve- 
ment in the mortality among those of 
early age. 

In the records where the age is given 
from 1875 to 1899, twenty-four years, of 
those buried in the Rockaway Cemetery 
496 died between the age of birth and 
5 years, more than one-half of this 
number did not attain the age of 1 
year. 74 died between the age of 5 and 



10 years ; 84 between 10 and 20 ; 72 be- 
tween 20 and 30 ; 79 between 30 and 40 ; 
68 between 40 and 50 ; 89 between 50 
and 60 ; 101 between 60 and 70 ; 105 be- 
tween 70 and 80 ; 91 between 80 and 90 ; 
9 between 90 and 100. About one-half 
died before the age of 15 years, and the 
larger percentage between 60 and 80. 
During the 10 years between 1875 to 
1885, this percentage was very much 
larger than during the later period, 
with a very low percentage between the 
ages of 20 and 40. 

Rockaway and its vicinity as the sta- 
i tistics show can be noted for its aged 
j people. Dr. Tuttle writes, "that 15 
J years (1847 to 1862) in that congregation 
the record showed 1 had assisted at the 
funerals of 65 persons over 70 years 
of age. Of these 19 were between 80 
and 90 ; 10 between 90 and 94 ; and oue 
was said to be 115 years." From Dr. 
Barnabas King's fortieth auniversary 
sermon, preached Dec. 31, 1848, we learn 
that he had officiated at 681 funerals, 
very many aged people. He had 
preached 12,000 times, solomnized 417 
marriages, baptized 547 children, and 
received in the church 680 members. 
What a record ! 

The oldest Monumental record is of 
brown stone, being well preserved, bet- 
ter than many others of later date, it is 
situated in the valley near the central 
part of the old burial ground, about 100 
yards back of where the old church was 
located on a knoll in therear of the pres- 
ent church. It has this inscription : 



3 



Here lies the body 

of Mary Wife 

of David Estile. 

Deceased April 8th 

1762 aged 24 

Years. 

It would seem from the old records 
that the "grave grouud" and "Meeting 
hous Lot" had beeu allowed to grow up 
as in 1796 an agreement was made for 
the "clearing the whole of the Meeting 
hous Lot, by cutting the stamps low 
and all the uuaer brash and barn it all 
for the wood and oald rails." We have 
followed the original spelling. 

The first records of a family plot was 
iu 1807 Joseph Jackson was permitted 
to "enclose in a fence twenty-eight feet 
square iu the grave grouud at the Meet- 
ing house where his wife is buried, for a 
burying ground for his family, aud such 
of his father's family as may choose to 
bury their dead there." 

Iu transcribing the uauics from the 
monuments, "Our Willie" aud "Little 
Maggie" have been rendered plain 
William aud Margaret, also all suffixes 
and prefixes have beeu dispensed with 
in the records that we might have oc- 
casion to give more honorable meution. 
The records give only monumental, 
church and sexton records, while tbe 
genealogies will give the names, and 
dates wheu possible, of many others 
who are buried here, aud in family con- 
nection in other immediate cemeteries, 
as we have the records of many of them. 

Iu transcribing the many thousands of 
names and dates that will follow, it is 
not possible that they should all be cor- 
rect. Should any of those connected, or 
who have friends buried here, find 



errors of name or date, or cau give auy 
information concerning these persons or 
families, we should be pleased to have 
any corrections or information, so that 
the records may be made historically 
correct. 

The writings and collections of Dr. 
Joseph F. Tuttle, who more than any 
other has added to the history of Morris 
Couuty, and more particularly old Rock- 
away, wheu he was for seventeen years 
associated with its people, are fouud in 
New Jersey Historical Society. To him 
it was a labor of love. His interests and 
faculty for transcribing the early tradi- 
tions and facts concerning our Revolu- 
tionary fathers iu this historic locality 
will always be appreciated by future 
generations. 

He wrote me that the vote of thanks 
given at some of his historical lectures 
fully repaid him for the time and labor 
expended. It was then as now, much 
valuable information is being withheld 
in the way of historical documents and 
old records, with the idea that they are 
very valuable in the way of dollars aud 
cents, while their real valuations are 
only of historical interest. 

To my many correspondents in the 
several states who have aided me in this 
work, and written words of encourage- 
ment, and those who have kindly aided 
me from their own private records and 
libraries, and all others, who from a 
delicate sense of modesty will not per- 
mit the mention of their names in this 
undertaking, I return my sincere thanks. 
If my work has aided you iu the gener- 
al exchange of information, it has filled 
its mission.

Historical and Genealogical. 



In the beginning of the end it has 
been advised to give some account of the 
old Rockaway church and its people. 
In doing this the sketch written by Dr. 
King, soon after the dedication of the 
present church, Sept. 6, 1832, has been 
reproduced, from a pamplet in my posses- 
sion, the only one, perhaps, in existence 
among the people of to-day. It was 
printed by request of the session at that 
time, at Newark, by Uzal J. Tuttle & 
Co., 1833. 

It also has lists of communicants at 
that time, which have been rearranged, 
giving date of membership and date of 
death when known. The list previous 
to 1808 from various sources, includes 
persons couuected with the church en- 
terprise with dates of membership and 
death when known. In both lists are 
many who may be buried at the Ceme- 
tery, date unknown, and a part removed 
to other settlements, place and time un- 
known. 

Many other records of interest will 
find their place here, to preserve their 
historical interest. Through the kind 
permission of the Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, 
Of Crawfordsville, Ind., a number of 
sketches of old families have been repro- 
duced. Without the aid of his reseai-eh- 
es, the history of Rockaway and its 
people would be incomplete. 

In the genealogies of old Morris Coun- 
ty families, the lines have heen drawn 
to those more or less connected with the 
early settlements of Rockaway, and its 



immediate vicinity, and whose relatives 
and connections are buried at the Ceme- 
tery. My information has been gained 
by an extended correspondence in many 
states from Maine to California, from 
Vermont to Florida, and reference on 
some disputed points have been referred 
to some of the noted genealogists of the 
day. 

In some cases, family histories have 
been sent me, that have taken the au- 
thors many years of patient research, 
labor and expense to complete. In my 
arrangements the outlines have been 
brief and direct to our early settlers, and 
those wishing a more extended family 
history, with all the side lines, are re- 
fered to the works themselves. It has 
been an ho?) or to be able to refer to 
these collections, and 1 do not wish any 
favorable mention when the work has 
been done by others. 

In the closing of the series, we hope 
to be able to more fully complete our re- 
searches, relating to those who did ser- 
vice, in the "days that tried men's 
souls," and in our later wars who may 
be buried at the Cemetery, heroes of five, 
if not six wars. Also to complete the 
list at that later date, those who are 
being buried here, and, last but not 
least, to correct some of the errors that 
may have crept in, typographical and 
otherwise, to the best of our ability. 
Respectfully yours 

J. P. Crayon. 




ROCKAWAY, N. J., PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 

Dedicated Sept. 6, 1832. 



A BRIEF HISTORY OF 



fy gfjurefj at foebwav, J, j 



Much useful iuformatiou is lost to the 
church and to the world for waut of a 
record of the early settlement aud pro- 
gress of the churches. The many diffi- 
culties aud prejudices of sectarianism 
in all new settlements, tend greatly to 
impede the progress of true piety, aud 
much that might be gained byuuited ef- 
fort and pious instead of party zeal, is 
lost by a desire to promote particular 
tenets instead of the religion of our 
Saviour, "which is first pure, then 
peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, 
full of mercies aud good fruits, " etc. 

The Presbyterian church at Rocka- 
way may be said to have been founded 
about the year 1766, although the first 
meeting-house (of wood) was raised in 
September, 1752. The building was the 
united effort of many denominations, 



and considerable sums were given by 
other congregations. The pious Colonel 
Jacob Ford, Sen., of Morristowu, gave 
one hundred pounds. The house was 
enclosed and benches placed on the 
ground floor, and divine service held in 
it in that situation until 1768, when the 
pulpit and seats below stairs were built. 
In this situation the house remained 
until the year 1794, when it was ceiled 
and the galleries made and seated, as it 
remained until the new meeting-house 
was finished as it now is of brick, and 
dedicated on the sixth day of September, 
1832. 

The first written record of the parish, 
wherein they appear to be taking a 
name, aud assuming a denomination, is 
dated December 23, 1766, when it was 
voted "to appoint a committee to sign 



62 



an article of agreement to join with Par- 
sippany in calling and settling a Presby- 
terian minister to preach, or settle, for 
both parishes jointly." 

On the 2nd of March, 17B7, the parish 
met to consider of and give Mr. -lames 
Tnttle a call as a candidate to preach at 
Rockaway and Parsippauy, when it was 
voted to give Mr. Tuttle a call ; and ac- 
cordingly at a parish meeting on 11th of 
May, 1767, held for that purpose, a com- 
mittee was appointed to sign the call for 
Mr. James Tuttle to settle with Rocka- 
way and Parsippany, and Deacon David 
Beamau was appointed to go to presby- 
tery, carry the call, and obtain an an- 
swer. 

In April, 1768, the Rev. James Tuttle 
was ordained at Parsippauy as minister 
for that congregation and Rockaway. 
This was the first settled and ordained 
minister iu Rockaway. Mr. David Bea- 
man was appointed chorister, and Mr. 
Jacob Allerton to read the psalm. It ap- 
pears that sixty pounds was the sum 
named for the minister's salary ; this for 
one half the time was equal to one hun- 
dred and sixty dollars a year. 

In October, 1770, owing to the con- 
tinued illness of Rev. Mr. Tuttle, the 
parish voted to sue for a dismission from 
the Rev. Mr. Tuttle when the presby- 
tery should sit, and a petition was 
signed accordingly ; but on the 9th of 
April, 1771, the decease of the Rev. Mr. 
Tuttle having taken place, the parish 
voted "to present a petition to the 
presbytery for them to send a candidate 
if they can, if not, to grant the parish 
liberty to hire a minister that shall be 
."judged of good standing by some per- 



sons that they shall appoint." 

In January, 1772, a contract was made 
with the Rev. Mr. Simsou to preach for 
eighty-live pounds, light money, a year, 
and have the use of the parsonage. 
April 1,1772, appointed Jacob Fod, Jun., 
a committee to carry the petition of the 
parish to the presbytery at Trenton, and 
voted, "to give Mr. Simson twenty -six 
shillings for every Sabbath he has, or 
shall preach for us, until the meeting of 
presbytery in New Brun .wick." It ap- 
pears Mr. Simsou, having preached 
twelve Sabbaths at the meeting house, 
declined the call presented to presby- 
tery for a settlement ; and the congrega- 
tion remained without a settled pastor, 
and renewed their application to the 
New York Presbytery for supplies ; and 
on 20th April, 1773, it was voted at a 
parish meeting to send Mr. Isaac Sar- 
geant to New England for a miuister ; 
but in May, 1773, the vote to send to 
New England for a minister was re- 
scinded, and a request made to presby- 
tery for supplies. A list of the names of 
the ministers who preached as supplies 
is given to preserve names of the then 
presbytery — viz. : Rev. Mr. Murdock, 
Rev. Thomas Lewis, Rev. Timothy 
Jones, Rev. Jacob Green, Rev. Mr- 
Clow, Rev. Mr. Burnet, Rev. Mr. Lyon 
and Rev. J. Grover. 

In September, 1773, the congregation 
at Parsippauy made a request to the con- 
gregation at Rockaway to join them 
again iu obtaining a settled minister ; 
but their offer was declined, and the 
parish voted to request presbytery to 
send them a candidate for settlement or 
supplies as before. 



63 



In May, 1774, the parish made out a 
call for the Rev. 'Matthias Buruet, which 
was presented to the presbytery, then 
sitting at Elizabethtowu, in which they 
state the society consists of one hundred 
families who have raised, and offered 
him for his support, one hundred pounds 
(two hundred and sixty-six dollars) an- 
nually, with the parsonage with one 
hundred acres of land, with a house 
thereon in decent order, and to find 

him his firewood at the door. 

The Rev. Mr. Burnet took six mouths 
to consider the call, and then de- 
clined accepting it. From this time 
until 17th March. 1775, the parish re- 
ceived supplies from presbytery, and 
part of the time hired the Rev. Joseph 
Grover as a candidate, who afterwards 
was settled at Parsippany ; after which 
the parish voted to invite a Dutch minis- 
ter from Hackensack for a short season ; 
when Mr. Derondy, a minister of the 
Reformed Dutch church, supplied the 
pulpit for seventeen Sabbaths ; after 
which, on the 12th April, 1779, the par- 
ish hired the Rev. Mr. Noble Everett as 
a canditate for six months, with a view 
to settlement, but which he afterwards 

declined. 

During this period of the revolutiona- 
ry war, for the most part of the time, 
the congregation was supplied by pres- 
bytery. No church records or session 
book having been kept, no records can 
be referred to, to state the increase of 
the church. There is occasionally men- 
tion made in the parish records of the 
number of baptisms of infants, but 
nothing in relation to the progress of re- 
ligion. The names of particular indi- 



viduals as officers in the church, occur 
in the records, but the number of the 
members or other matter relating to the 
church proper cannot now be known. 

The Rev. Mr. -fohu loliue (as appears 
by the records in April, 1779) had 
preached as a candidate for six months ; 
but for reasons not stated, no settlement 
took place, and the Rev. Mr. Derondy 
was engaged again in November, 1779, 
and continued through the winter fol- 
lowing until April, 1780. 

In May, 1780, an effort was made to 
obtain a candidate from New England 
through Mr. Chapman, then minister 
at Orange. No record appears of the 
success of this application ; but in Au- 
gust, 1780, the Rev. Lemuel Fordham 
was engaged for a short season, and 
then a Mr. Gilbert was engaged for sev- 
eral Sabbaths as a candidate for settle- 
ment, and in October, 1780, a petition 
was made to presbytery for the Rev. Mr. 
Fordham to be appointed as a proba- 
tioner with a view to settlement. 

In May, 17S1, the parish voted to peti- 
tion presbytery that Mr. Fordham be 
continued as a candidate for the space 
of six months ensuing ; and it was 
further voted that the Rev. Mr. Ford- 
ham be permitted to preach the saint: 
sermons at Rockaway that he preaches 
at Snccasunna, as he may think proper; 
from which it is infered that Mr. Ford- 
ham preached but half the time at 
Rockaway during these six months. 

A great depreciation of the currency 
of the state having taken place, the par- 
ish agreed to pay fifty pounds in pro- 
duce, to pay the salary, to wit : iron at 
twenty-four shillings per cwt., wheat at 



6 4 



six shillings per bushel, rye and corn at 
four shillings, or in money as much as 
would purchase those articles. 

From October, 1781, to April, 1784, 
the Rev. Mr. Fordham was a stated 
supply for one half the time at fifty 
pounds a year; and in April, 1784, the 
Rev. David Baldwin, who formally was 
a preacher at Black river in Morris 
County, accepted a call and was in- 
stalled over the congregation, with a 
salary of eighty pounds a year, the use 
of the parsonage, and firewood found 
him at the door. 

That part of divine service pertaining 
to the singing of psalms, and what ver- 
sion of the psalms should be used in wor- 
ship, having made great uneasiness and 
great inquietude, in April, 1786, it was 
voted to appoint four choristers to set the 
tunes : "that Benjamin Jacksou, Francis 
McCarty, and Jacob Lyon be appointed 
choristers, that they sing in the after- 
noon without reading the psalm line by 
line, and David Beaman to siug the fore 
part of the day, unless otherwise agreed 
on by Mr. Beaman aud the other choris- 
ters ; aud that they sing auy ' s that 
are suug in the neighboring ch, hes as 
they shall judge proper." 

At a parish meeting held on 14th Feb- 
ruary, 1787, the Rev. Mr. Baldwin made 
a proposition to the parish, viz. : "the 
parish to give him one hundred pounds 
in cash, to assist in purchasing him a 
small settlement ; and that he would re- 
linquish twenty pouuds a year of his 
salary, and thus have only sixty pouuds 
a year with the use of the parsonage and 
firewood as usual." 



This proposition of Mr. Baldwin's was 
agreed to, and at the same time the par- 
ish agreed to incorporate themselves 
agreeable to an Act of Assembly, passed 
March 16th, 1786. 

On the 6th March, 1787, the parish 
met according to appointment and pro- 
ceeded to elect their first Board of Trus- 
tees ; when "William Winds, Stephen 
Jackson, Abram Kitchell, Benjamin 
Beach, Job Allen, David Beaman and 
David Baker were elected ; who accept- 
ed the appointment, and do call them- 
selves by the name of the First Presby- 
terian Congregation at Rockaway, in 
the County of Morris. A certificate of 
which under the hand and seal of the 
clerk of the County of Morris is dated 
22nt. March, 1787. 

April, 1789, some further difficulty 
having arisen respecting the singing in 
church, it was voted at a parish meeting 
to have the psalm read line by line, or 
by two lines, in singing in future, except 
on particular occasious. 

On 17th June, 1780, at a parish meet- 
ing, Mr. William Ross, having served 
the parish as an elder of the church for 
several years, desired to resigu his office 
as an elder of the church. The parish 
accepted of his resignation, with their 
thanks for his services. 

This fact is mentioned to show that 
the method of electing officers of the 
church must have been by the parish 
and not by the church only. Mr. David 
Beaman, at the same time, resigned his 
office as elder and chorister for the par- 
ish, when a like vote of thanks was 
given.

lii July, 1789, at a parish meeting, the 
Rev. Mr. Baldwin requested the par- 
ish to express their views on his appoint- 
ment by presbytery to preach among va- 
cant congregations, to which the parish 
unanimously assented. This is the first 
intimation of a missionary step, which 
in later times has been so successful in 
spreading the gospel, and no doubt has 
the promise of God with it to the end of 
the world. 

January 4th, 1792, at a parish meeting, 
a proposition of the Rev. Mr. Baldwin 
was presented to the parish, expressing 
his willingness to be dismissed, or to be 
continued as the parish might think 
proper. Whereupon it was voted to pay 
up Mr. Baldwin's salary to the first of 
June, 1792, and after that time the par- 
ish. 

consider Mr. Baldwin under no further 
obligation to them, nor the parish to Mr. 
Baldwin ; and that Mr. Baldwin have 
liberty to make engagements at his 
pleasure. 

From what can be gathered from the 
records and the recollections of those 
now living, the church must have been 
in a low state. The attendance on the 
Sabbath did scarcely number thirty of 
all persons, and many times not more 
than half that number, but the hope of 
better times brightened upon the con- 
gregation. Some few were left who 
prayed, and perhaps in proportion, as 
many as Elijah were astonished to hear 
prayed. The Lord put it in the hearts 
of the people to bestir themselves, and 
to rebuild the tabernacle of the Lord 
Accordingly we fiud on the 14th May, 



1792, at a parish meeting, the pious and 
devotedly good old minister, Mr, Bald- 
win, paid off to his satisfaction, with 
his prayers and benediction on the 
people that God had once placed him 
over ; and thereupon it was voted to 
apply to Mr. John J. Carle to supply us 
as a candidate. Thirty-five for it, one 
against it. 

The mode of singing was again ad- 
justed by the appointment of Benjamin 
Jackson, Russel Davis and Daniel Hnrd 
as choristers, and that they act discre- 
tionary when to sing without reading 
the lines. 

On 18th June, 1792, it was voted 
unanimously (sixty-five present) to pre- 
sent a call to the next New York pres- 
bytery for Mr. John J. Carle for a settle- 
ment ; which was accordingly presented 
and accepted ; and in January, 1793, Mr. 
Carle was ordained and installed pastor 
over the church and congregation. This 
was the first ordination witnessed at 
Rockaway ; the meeting house being 
then without gcJlery or walls ; and hav- 
ing stood about forty years, and many 
efforts had been made to have a settled 
minister. After the death of the Rev. 
Mr. Tuttle, a new state of things oc- 
curred. A regular session of the church 
was formed and although no list of its 
members appears entire, yet a few were 
found ready to come up to the help of 
the Lord against the mighty ; and the 
five years ministry of Mr. Carle added 
quite a goodly number to the church ; 
but in the wise providence of God, we 
were again, in the spring of 1801, de- 
prived of the stated ordinances of the 
gospel. 



66 



The Rev. Mr. Carle asked and ob- 
tained a dismission from the parish, and 
the parish became (as it truly was) like 
sheep without a shepherd. Part of the 
time with supplies from presbytery, and 
part of the time with preachers of other 
and sometimes strange doctrines, until 
in the mercy of God, we once more 
emerged from the dark cloud which 
hung over us ; and in the fall of 1808, 
obtained a settlement of present pastor, 
Rev. Barnabas King, who was ordained 
and installed pastor of onr church and 
congregation on the 27th December, 
1808. 

And under his administration the 
Lord hath done great things for us, 
whereof we are glad, and for which we 
desire to bless his holy name. While 
we would show the great disparity of 
the numbers of the church in October, 
180S, being then only thirty-five in all, 
and among them it might be said there 
was only three men that would pray in 
public, if they ever prayed at all ; but 
under a faithful and pious ministry of 
twenty-five years, the Lord has in- 
creased the church to the present num- 
ber of three hundred and thirty -one 
members in regular standing. 

Note. The new meeting house at 
Rockaway is of brick, forty-seven by 
sixty feet, twenty-one feet high above 
the water table ; steeple eighteen feet 
square, forty-two feet high, four pedes- 
tals, three feet square, with four pyra- 
mids ten feet high on each corner ; four 
Gothic windows in each broadside and 
two in the pulpit end, each one hundred 
and eleven lights of glass ; finished in- 



side with galleries, ceiled, and seated in 
a plain, neat manner and painted white. 
About one year in building.

ROCK AW AY IN 178$. 



BY J. P. CRAYON. 



To preserve some of the records relat- 
ing to Rockaway at this time, I have 
arranged from the original papers the 
facts as stated. It will correct some of 
the statements made in Morris County 
history related as historical facts. At 
this period regular assessments were 
made in the parish of Rockaway, for 
ministers salary, church and parsonage 
expenses. These assessments were made 
by authority of the session by Capt. Job 
Allen, both father and son had been so 
intimately connected and interested in 
the church. 

It is presumed that this contains but 
a small average of the land owners of 
this section, or its people, as at this time, 
religion seemed to be at its lowest ebb, 
the isms of Voltaire and Paine, had been 
extensively circulated and imbibed by 
the soldiers of the Revolution, during 
hardships, that to live or die, made lit- 
tle difference, and like all other great 



armies, it is related that they swore, 
"like the army in Flanders," it became 
a habit not easily shaken off, and the fi- 
nancial system was on no solid basis, 
with heavy tax burdens, and the seven 
long years of neglect in the agricultural 
and mining districts had not been over- 
come, and the general unrest, and desire 
to occupy the better lands in the West, 
left the people very unsettled in their af- 
fairs, and but little interest in church 
affairs 

These assessments were rated accord- 
ing to the acerage of improved and unim- 
proved lands, industries, the number of 
horses, cattle, etc., at a fixed valuation. 

I have here given the names of own- 
ers with the number of acres of im- 
proved lands, assessed for church pur- 
poses, in the years 1784-5. Many sub- 
scribed, refusing to be assessed accord- 
ing to their valuation. This may be an 
important sketch for future historians,

It will be noticed that among the 
names of the subscribers were those of 
the largest land and property owners, 
though very liberal contributors, they 
avoided assessment and taxation, a trait 



handed down to this day and generation. 
Among the papers of this date, or a little 
before, mention is made of one Thomas 
Milledge, a very large land and proper- 
ty owner in the parish, but went over to 
the British side in the Revolution, and 
became a major. On his return here, 
he was waited upon by a delegation of 
our citizens and advised to leave the 
country for his health, as they did not 
propose to associate with traitors in the 
community, he gave them no satisfac- 
tion at first, but finally fled for safety to 
Nova Scotia, and his lands and proper- 
ties were confiscated. If our forefathers 
had fought the uses and abuses, of their 
prevailing weakness, the originator of 
crime, and destruction of health and 
property of that day and this, with the 
same determination and effect, that they 
fought Red Coats and traitors, the rum 
traffic of today would have been a thing 
of the past, and referred to in history as 
among the good old days of Adam and 
Eve.

In the name of God, Amen. 

I, William Winds, of the township of 
Mendham, and the county of Morris, in 
the State of New Jersey, being very weak 
in body, and in a very declining state 
of health, though of perfect mind and 
memory, in a firm belief of the doctrines 
of Christ's holy religion, do ordain this 
to be my last will and testament. 

In the first place, whenever it shall 
please the great Creator of the Uuiverse 
to call me out of time, I bequeath my 
body to the dust, to be buried in a de- 
cent manner, according to the discretion 
of my executors hereafter named ; and 
my soul to ^God who gave it, in a firm 
belief of a resurrection to eternal life. 

I do likewise will and order that my 
funeral charges and all my just debts be 



paid out of my movable estate. Item. — 
I do hereby give and bequeath to my 
dear and well beloved wife, Ruhamah, 
the remainder of my estate, real and 
personal, to be at her disposal, and for 
her sole use and benefit, during the time 
of her remaining my widow, and if she 
shall see fit to marry, after my decease, 
I do still will and order that she shall 
have the use and benefit of the one-third 
part of my whole estate, that then re- 
mains, during her natural life, and that 
she shall, at no time, nor on any occa- 
sion, nor by any person whatsoever be 
obliged to give any account for any 
waste or damage done by her, or her 
order on said estate. Item. — I do 
further order after her decease, that 
what shall then remain shall be disposed 
of as follows : — To Abigail, Huldah and 
Susanna Beeman, the daughters of 
Josiah Beeman, I give fifteen pounds 
each. To Barnabas Winds and to his 
brother, Samuel Winds, I do give sever- 
ally the one- twentieth part of my whole 
estate. To William Winds, Junr., son 
of Barnabas Winds, I give one-tenth 
part of my whole estate. To William 
Winds, son of Abigail Winds, I give also 
the one-tenth part of my whole estate, 
also to William Ross, son of William 
Ross, Esquire, I give the one-tenth part 
of my whole estate. To Mehctible 
Gouldsmith, daughter of Josiah Gould- 
smith, I give the one-twentieth part of 
my whole estate. I do also give unto 
John Cory, whatever he may be indebt- 
ed to me by note, book or bonds, and 
hereby order that all his obligations 
shall be null and void. Item. — For the 
great regard 1 have for the interest of 
Christ's kingdom, and for the benefit of 
the Presbyterian Church ; I do hereby 



79 



give and bequeath to the Presbyterian 
Church at Rockaway, all the remainder 
of my whole estate for a parsonage, and 
do hereby, further will and order, that 
the said remainder of my estate shall be 
and remain forever, for that use and 
purpose only ; and that it shall never be 
disposed of for any other purpose what- 
soever. 

And I do appoint William Ross, Esqr., 
and Samuel Lindsly my executors, and 
my dear wife Ruhamah, executrix, to 
execute this my last will and testament, 
according to the true intent and mean- 
ing thereof, —

Ok DelRont family. 



Iu my collections made in the centen- 
nial year (1876) some account of the De 
Month family were given me by a mem- 
ber of that family, which I do not find 
in the Morris County history, which I 
will make mention here that the record 
may be preserved. 

The De Mont, or De Mouth family 
were formerly residents of France, 
French Hugenots who fled from France 
en account of their Protestant faith and 
removed to Hanover in Germany, and 
from thence emigrated to America in 
•lune, 1709, and became the first settlers 
of Rockaway Valley, of this township. 
They were the first white settlers in the 
valley, and this family was in posses- 
sion of old papers and deeds dating from 
1709 to 1730, and an old relic, a razor 
hone of petrified wood, which came 
over with the family, and had tradition- 
ally been preserved in the family a long 
time during their residence iu France. 
Several other relics were well preserved 
and of great antiquity. 

The early family records had been 



lost, but history mentions Frederick, 
and Jacob a probable son. They were 
also among the earliest settlers at New 
Fouudland iu this (Rockaway) town- 
ship. The mythical inscription 
"P. x S. 1773" on the triangular stone 
above the door of the old stone house 
now owned by Theodore Brown, may be 
interpreted that the building was erect- 
ed by Peter Snyder in 1773. It was an 
addition to the original stone house built 
just forty years previous upon the lands 
owned by a member of the DeMouth 
family, who located there from Rocka- 
way Valley about 1730, and inherited by 
the wife of Peter Snyder, who was a 
daughter of this early settler at New 
Fouudland. 

Mr. Thomas DeMouth, who gave me 
this information, lived and owned lands 
where the Clinton reservoir now is, 
these lauds being occupied by his father, 
Thomas, » descendant of the original 
family in America. He was born Sept. 
2, 1804, died July 2, 1881. Married 
Betsey Levi, of Litchfield, Ct. Her 
people were among the first settlers of 



88 



that county. She was born Oct. 1, 1799, 
died Sept. 8, 1887. Both buried at Oak 
Ridge. Children : Wesley, who served 
in the war '61-5 ; Electa, married Rev. 
Peter D. Vreeland Nov. 12, 1856 ; Eliza- 



beth, married Patrick Burns Nov. 16, 
1867; Thomas, Jr., born Oct. 4,1838, 
died Aug. 4, 1858 ; Hiram, born Mar. 30, 
1840, married Stagg, died about 1890; 
Abner and Minerva.

the Peck farm on the Littleton road, 
near Franklin. Sarah, his wife, was 
born 1720, died July 18, 1777. He died 
May 13, 1798. He and his son were 
early connected with the Rockaway 
church, and is said walked there, a dis- 
tance of over five miles, with great regu- 
larity and through all kinds of weather. 
He and four sons served in Capt. Robert 
Gaston's Company, and Capt. Josiah

doing duty as guard, one Foster Wil- 
liams, son of Samuel, of Shongom, had 



laid a wager with some of the Company, 
that he could take David's musket away 
from him while he was on his post. He 
came up and demanded his musket, but 
David well knowing the penalty resist- 
ed, when Williams undertook to deprive 
him of his musket by force, and was 
shot, so that he died a few hours after 
for his rash wager. Joseph Casterline 
belonged to the same Company. Jacob, 
Jr., it is said, lived at New Foundland 
after the Revolution, but I have no rec-

Che ftoagland Familp. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Daniel 
H. Carpenter, the collector and compil- 
er of a valuable historical and genealo- 
gical work "The Hoagland Family in 
America" I am largely indebted for this 
branch of the family who settled in 
Morris County, and connected with the 
interests of Rockaway, and related to 
many of the worthy families. I only 
regret that the brief space of these gene- 
alogies will not admit of so much valua- 
ble information relating to the early set- 
tlements. There are a few who can or 
will realize as they read this sketch, that 
it has taken years of patient research 
and at a very great expense to accom- 
plish the end. 

Christoffel Hooglandt was the first of 
this branch to emigrate to America. 
The name has a Dutch signification of 
Christ- bearer and high-land. The bear- 
ers of the name were numerous and 
greatly distinguished in war and art in 
Holland and Netherlands.

The history of the Jackson family has 
been written in their early pioneer set- 
tlements, in the records of three wars, 
in the successful business enterprises, 
mostly in the iron industries of early 
years, in church, state, county and 
township, and as has been stated, the 
founders and builders of Rockaway. 
After four generations, and with the 
general depression of the iron industry, 
the name gradually passed away, and 
like many others early connected, the 
name may soon cease. Other and more 
profitable investments may have been 
found than in Rockaway. 




REV. BARNABAS KING, D.D. 

Bnru, New Marlsborongh, Mass., .Time 2, 17S0. 

Died. Rocknway, N. ,T., April 10, 18'W. 



Ret). Barnabas King, D. D. 



The -following sketch written soon 
after the death and burial of Rev. Bar- 
nabas King by his colleague, Rev. Jo- 
seph F. Tuttle, very clearly illustrates 
the life, death and character of the 
worthy pastor. <No greater or more 
worthy tribute, could have been written 
and as far as I know, has never before 
appeared in print. J. P. O. 

Died on Thursday, April 10, 1862, at 
10 : 30 a. m. at the residence of his col- 
league, the Rev. Barnabas King, D. D., 
in the 82nd year of his age. He preached 
for the first time in Rockaway, Jan. 26, 

1806, began his stated labor here Oct. , 

1807, and was installed pastor Dec. 27, 
?1808. which relation continued until 
death dissolved it. On the day he was 
taken sick his resignation was offered to 
the congregation, which was not accept- 
ed ; the Parish by a unanimous vote de- 
clined to receive it: 

He was buried on the Lord's Day, 
April 13, a multitude being present, hun- 
dreds of whom could not get into the 
church. His colleague in compliance 
with his wish preached from the text, 



si Oor. 15, 10. "i$y the grace of God, I 
am what I am ; and his grace which 
was bestowed upon me was not in vain ; 
lor I labored more abundantly than they 
all ; yet not I but the grace of God which 
was with me." 

The Rev. Barnabas King was born of 
pious parents in New Marlborough, 
Mass., June 2, 1780. From childhood 
he was noted for sobriety of manners 
and 'the diligent improvement of his 
Jimited privilege at school. In his four- 
teenth year he was about to be appren- 
ticed to a cabinet-maker when Dr. Oat- 
lin, of Marlborough, in visiting tlie 
school which he was attending, became 
interested in his proficiency .in study 
and offered to take him in his own fami- 
ly and fit him for college in four years 
in consideration of his services on the 
farm during the summer. This offer he 
accepted and after fulfilling his agree- 
ment, taught school for several years to 
obtain the means of going on with his 
education. At the age of eighteen he 
made a profession of faith in Christ. 



105 



In the spriug of 1802, he attended the 
Sophomore Class of Williams College 
and was graduated in 1804. During the 
next year he taught sohool and studied 
Theology with Dr. Catlin. On the 15th 
of October 1805, he was licensed to 
preach by the Berkshire Association. 
Having failed to secure a settlement in 
his native county he was about to start 
for Western New York, then a new 
country, when a letter coming from a 
classmate led him to New Jersev- 

From Jan. 7, 1806, to Oct., 1807, he 
preached at Sparta and Berkshire, when 
he became the stated supply of Sparta 
and Rockaway. Very soon a blessing 
attended his labors, and in the midst of 
a revival which resulted in the addition 
of eighty members to the church he was 
ordained and installed pastor of the 
church at Rockaway Dec. 27, 1808. Of 
the Presbytery of New York which per- 
formed this service Dr. John McDowell 
who preached the sermon alone sur- 
vives. Then the Licenciate became pas- 
tor after a probation of three years, a 
trial which probably did much to pre- 
pare him for his future usefulness. 

The region upon the care of which the 
young pastor thus happily entered was 
extensive and destitute, sparsely settled 
and cursed with ignorance, intemper- 
ance, Sabbath-breaking and kindred 
vices. The church was very feeble, con- 
sisting of only thirty-five members 
among whom were found but three men 
who ever prayed in public, and twelve 
were widows. 

He commenced his labors in a sincere 
and prayerful spirit, giving himself 



wholly to his work, and seeking success 
by patient continuance in well doing. 
He became a practical missionary in the 
district of which his church was the cen- 
ter. He preached in school houses and 
private dwellings, and visited much 
from house to house. For continuous 
periods he arranged ten sermons a week. 
During the whole time of his ministry 
but one year passed without additions to 
the chuich. In the fall of the year of 
1817, began a great revival which 
brought 151 into the church. Numerous 
revivals, some very extensive and pow- 
arf ul, rewarded his labor. 

For forty years he continued his plain, 
unobtrusive but useful course, retaining 
the constant and growing affection of 
his people. 

In 1847 when nearly 70, he received a 
colleague in his son-in-law, Rev. Joseph 
F. Tuttle. From his fortieth anniversa- 
ry sermon preached Dec. 31, 1848, we 
learn that he preached 1,200 times, sol- 
emnized 417 marriages, baptized 547 
children, attended funerals, re- 
ceived in the church 080 members, four- 
teen of whom became ministers. In the 
field of vvhicli he first had charge there 
are now five Presbyterian and five 
Methodist churches for all of which he 
in some measure prepared the way, and 
some of which sprang directly out of his 
church. 

For the last fourteen years he had 
given up the active duties of 
the charge to his colleague, per- 
forming such services as occas- 
ion demanded, and his strength 
permitted, but always keeping up a live- 



io6 



ly interest and exerting a healthful in- 
fluence in the affairs of the parish, and 
maintaining a happy co-operation with 
the junior pastor. 

The evening of his life was calm 
and peaceful and amidst the kind atten- 
tions of those who knew and loved him, 
because they and their fathers .had 
proved him, he gently passed away 
when the last summons came he wel- 
comed it, and with his mind in perfect 
peace and clearness without a doubt or 
fear he departed to his rest while his 
whole people mourned for him as chil- 
dren for a father. 

Father King was not according to 
common acceptation a great or learned, 
or brilliant man. His preaching never 
drew admiring crowds, but it instructed, 
interested and moulded generation after 
generation. His pulpit was occasionally 
occupied by such men as McDowell, and 
Richards, and Griffin, and Fraley, whose 
preaching was highly appreciated by the 
people, but it was common to hear the 
admiration of the stranger qualified by 
the remark, "but after all, I would 
rather hear our own pastor," showing 
that in the judgement of his people 
whatever superiority to him others 
might display in brilliancy was more 
than made up in him by some substan- 



tial excellence. His style of preaching 
was very simple, scriptural, earnest and 
affectionate. He was a good man, con- 
sistent in his life, "of good report of 
them who are without," satisfied will 
and faithful in his pastoral work, ever 
making it manifest to the flock that he 
sought not this but them. The success 
of his ministry is another proof that 
God uses unpretending but fitting in- 
strumentality to accomplish great re- 
sults. A remarkable characteristic of 
his preaching was its perfect orthodoxy 
and freedom from speculation so that he 
never had to take anythiug back. 

This sketch would be incomplete with- 
out honorable mention of the conduct of 
the parish of Rockaway towards their 
venerable pastor. The very day he was 
stricken with his last sickness, his resig- 
nation was tendered in consequence of 
his colleague's acceptance to the Presi- 
dency of Wabash College, and his un- 
willingness to be in the way of settling 
a successor, he had done the same thing 
when his colleague was called. But the 
congregation with a noble spirit refused 
to accept his last resignation, as they 
had the first, giving as a reason their 
wish that he should die their pastor, and 
be buried among his people.

Family.) 



Cbc Camson Familp. 



Three brothers of this family lauded 
at Plymouth in 1636, soon after the set- 
tlement of the Plymouth Colony. Oue of 
them, John, came to New Haveu, who 
is the progenitor of the JLamson family 
of this section. He came to New Jer- 
sey in 1710, as the records of the New 
Jersey Proprietors at Perth Amboy 
show that the homestead farm near 
Dover was deeded by them in 1710. 

John Lamsou, or Lampson was an 
early settler at New Haven and probab- 
ly died there. He married Elizabeth 
Morris, who, with their sou Eleazer, 
came to Newark. He is meutioned in 
the Newark Town Records as a fence 
viewer Jau. 1, 1693. 

Eleazer married Abigail, daughter of 
Oapt. Samuel Swaiue and wife Joanna. 
The Swaiues came from London to Con- 
neticut in 1635, came to Newark with 
the Branford Colony in May 1666. Had 
children : Elizabeth, born 1649 ; Joanna, 
born 1651, married Jasper Crane, Jr.. 
died Sept. 16, 1720. Christiana, born 
1659; Sarah, born 1669, and Abigail, 



who married Eleazer Lamson. 

Eleazer and Abigail had children : 
Daniel, Thomas, who settled at Orange, 
was revolutionary soldier, and Eleazer, 
born 1720, died Mar. 24, 1789. He was 
at Rockaway, as a member of the Pres- 
byterian church in 1779 and as a bridge 
inspector with Capt. Stephen Jackson 
and Col. Jacob Drake in 1781. His wife 
Jane was born 1723, died Jan. 26, 1796, 
both buried at Rockaway. Newark rec- 
ords have Moses as a son of the first 
Eleazer, but as the records show that 
he was born 1750, and died Dec. 22, 1798, 
buried at Rockaway, it is conclusive 
that he was son of Eleazer and Jane. 
Their other children were Daniel, who 
resided near the Quaker church, also 
Rhoda, who was born 1751, died at an 
advanced age and buried at Rockaway. 
Thomas, who was boru 1755, died Jan. 
27, 1838, buried at Rockaway. Benja- 
min, boru Mar. 1, 1761, died 1824, buried 
at Rockaway. 

Benjamin married Thankful Hatha- 
way May 9, 1786, she was daughter of 



io8 



Jonathan and Lydia, and born May 15, 
1787, died 1827, both buried at Rocka- 
yvay. Benjamin was Elder of the Rock- 
away Church in 1809, and inherited the 
property south of Dover and lived and 
died there. 

Children : Daniel, born Apr. 3, 1788, 
married Phebe Jackson July 3, 1816. 
She was daughter of John, the son of 
Benjamin Jackson. This name is not 
on the Jackson records however. Ira, 
born Mar. 29, 1792; Jonathan Hatha- 
way, born June 2, 1799, married Lucy, 
daughter of Capt. Job and Sarah (Coop- 
er) Talmage, of Franklin, Mar. 23, 1824. 
They removed to the Dake country in 
Western New \ork and probably died 
there. Albert G., born Aug. 7. 1803 ; 
sold his share of the property to his 
brother Daniel and went to Western 
New York. Benjamin probably had son 
Eleazer and daughters, but have no rec^ 
ords of them. 

Children of Daniel and Phebe (Jack- 
son) Lamson, who remained on the old 
homestead : Jane, married Charles 
Thompson ; Rhoda, married Hedden, of 
Center Grove ; Chloe, never married, 
lived at Philadelphia ; Eleazer, a school 
teacher, born Aug. 28, 1810, died Sept. 
28, 1860, married Elizabeth A., daughter 
of Capt. John Seward, of Hurdtown. 
She was born June 10, 1812, died Mar. 
14, 1893, both buried at Berkshire Val- 
ley. Charles, married Nancy Chrystal, 
of Dover. 

Children of Charles and Nancy : Al- 
fred, married Sophia Ann Cooper, 
daughter of David, of Franklin. Mar- 
cus, went to war in 1861 ; George went 



West; John C, married Esther Ayres, 
of Franklin present, resident of the old 
homestead. Martha, married Jacob 
Kontz, of Ninkey. 

As will be seen by the church records, 
the latter part of the last century and 
the first part of this no stationed minis- 
ter was at the Rockaway church, and if 
we consult the marriage records at Mor- 
ristown we would find that at this peri- 
od a large part of the marriage cere- 
monies were performed by the Justice of 
the Peace, generally spoken of as 
'squire. 

Esq. Benjamin Damson held that of- 
fice at this period, and his finances must 
have been largely increased by the 
swains, young and old, in all this 
region around about. Tradition re- 
lates of One unprofitable invest- 
ment. A twice widower, a resident 
of Pigeon Hill, had contracted 
a matrimonial alliance with a 
young widow, a resident of the 
mountain region above Hibernia, which 
under peculiar circumstances did not 
materialize. The best laid plans of mice 
and men, etc. 

The arrangement was that the widow- 
er's neighbors who had team and con- 
veyance, was to go to the widow's and 
bring all her household goods and chat- 
tels, including a barrel of soft soap, an 
indispensible article in those days to 
every thrifty housewife, and appear at 
'Squire Lamson's where the widower 
would meet her and they two would be 
made one, and then proceed at once to 
the home of the widower, where a wed- 
ding supper would be in waiting, pre- 



109 



pared by the neighboring wives, and all, 
young and old had been invited for a 
grand jollification. 

A messenger had been dispatched to 
'Squire Lamson's to apprise him of the 
fact. The good natured 'squire immedi- 
ately set his house in order ; threw on an 
extra supply of wood in the open fire 
place, to give them a warm and com- 
fortable reception, as the temperature 
out was below the freezing point. 

At nine o'clock, the appointed hour, 
the parties arrived, the widower, like 
many others, could not stand prosperity, 
and his friends had induced him to im- 
bibe too freely of the ardent spirits of 
that day, and on his arrival it took two 
of his friends to conduct him to the 
house. The widow, took in the situa- 
tion at a glance, and would accept no 
apologies, but informed the would-be 
groom, that he was not the man who 
came up in the Hiberuia mountains in 



search of a wife and made a contract, 
and that she would not marry him 
under any circumstances. 

The wedding supper, which had been 
prepared with great care and skill 
under the supervision of the neighbor- 
ing housewives, must not be allowed to 
spoil, and it would certainly not save 
over until the next event, so all went to 
the house of the widower and great was 
the jollification thereof. 

Another and similar circumstance 
happened soon after, so that the guests, 
many of them, could boast that they 
had partaken of four marriage suppers, 
at the residence of their friend only 
twice married. 

There might be a moral attached to 
to this bit of ancient history, that would 
benefit the present day and generation, 
but I shall not interfere with the mor- 
als, the manners or customs of that day 
or this. 



CDc miller F amilp. 



Among the early settlers in Morris 
County were three brothers named Mil- 
ler, who came from Holland perhaps as 
early as 1740 or 50, as each had sons old 
enough to serve in the Revolution. 

Frederick Miller settled at Stony 
Brook, near Rockaway Valley, where his 
son Frederick bought lauds, over 400 
acres, in May 1788, aud it is said that 
some of the descendants still owu parts 
of the origiual tract. He became a 
member of the Rockaway church in 1770 
and is probably buried here. 

There are those now living who re- 
member Of coming to Rockaway church 
iu Dr. King's time from Rockaway Val- 
ley aud Stouy Brook in ox wagous in 
summer and "jumper" sleds in winter, 
the only conveyances and propelling 
power used by the early settlers about 
their "clearings" and "patches," now 
called farms. A slow and sure progress- 
ive movement, but the best the early 
settlers luid, and they accommodated 
whole families and sometimes neighbor- 
hoods, and usually those who had farth- 



est to go to church, succeeded in getting 
there first. 

Jacob Miller settled at Hook Mountain, 
near Pine Brook : bought a large tract of 
land, on which some of his descendants 
now live and own in part. His sons 
served in the Revolution. 

Christian or Christopher, t^here is 
some uncertainty as to which name, set- 
tled on 600 acres of land near old Boon- 
ton. His son, John Frederick, it is relat- 
ed was one of Washington's Staff offi- 
cers or express riders, while encamped 
at Morristown. While the enemy were 
at or near Trenton it was necessary to 
communicate or get dispatches to Phila- 
delphia. Washington selected John 
Frederick Miller and the brown mare to 
carry these dispatches. The ride was a 
perilous one, aud through the enemy's 
lines, but the brown mare and her dar- 
ing rider performed the distance and re- 
turned bringing important information 
in just thirty-six hours. 

The distance probably traveled at that 
time, and on this occasion was nearly 



II I 



180 miles, or au average, without in- 
cluding rest or time for feeding, of near- 
ly five miles per hour. The power of 
endurance of both horse and rider over 
the rough roads of Revolutionary days 
would compare favorably with the im- 
proved horse flesh of to-day, covering 
the more direct lines and improved 
roads. 

The daring rides of General Putnam, 
Paul Revere and General Sheridan 
have passed into history and poetry, but 
the feats of the brown mare and its dar- 
ing rider, John Frederick Miller has 
only been handed down in the plain 
prose of family tradition . 

John Frederick Miller lived and died 
at Old Boonton, his place of burial is 
unknown. He had thirteen children. 
Frederick; Alexander, married Phebe 

and died at Old Boonton. Ada 

married(2)Pierson, and lived and died at 
old Shongum. Thomas died at Orange. 
Jemima ; David died at Pine Brook ; 
Sarah married Tuttle, died at Brookliu. 



Stephen, born Dec. 11, 1791, married a 
VanDine. Her mother was aDoremus, 
a lineal descendant of Aneka Jans. He 
served six mouths in the 1812 war, and 
did service at Jersey City and Sandy 
Hook with the Rockaway boys under 
the -lacksons. He died at Paterson, 
March 2, 1888. Lydia and Nellie died 
at Old Boonton. Ann married Tuttle, 
who married Sarah and died at Brook- 
liu. Obadiah died at Newark. Aaron 
died at Old Boonton. His son Edward 
now owns a part of the old Miller home- 
stead. 

The facts of the Miller family were 
related to me by one of the descendants, 
who has taken no special pride in trac- 
ing ancestry or the interesting part of 
history connected with the family, in 
less than half an hour. To trace to the 
sixth and seventh generations of the 
three original brothers, all having large 
families would occupy many years of 
time and research, as they are related to 
very many of the old Rockaway and 
Morris County families. 



Ok Palmer Familp. 



The Pammer, Parmer and Palmer 
families were well distributed among 
the early settlers of Long Island, Con- 
neticut and Massachusetts. As there

Jacob Palmer, who came from Long Is- 
land and settled in Morris County at or 
near Franklin about 1760, and being by

from Long Island and were early set- 
tlers in Morris county at Rockaway, Mt. 
Freedom, Morristown and Bernards-

CDc Southard Familp. 



In the earliest days of Hibernia, proba- 
bly as early as 1740, not later than 1745, 
lived one Timothy Southard. He was 
unfortunate in the death of his wife, 
who, it is probable was buried at Rocka- 
way. They had one sou, an infant at 
the death of its mother, and also named 
Timothy. The father sold out his house- 
hold belongings, not very exteusive in 
those days, and carried the iufaut in his 
arms, and was going to make the jour- 
ney on foot to some of his relatives liv- 
ing at Elizabethtowu Point, or to Long 
Island, where he came from. He stopped 
for the night at an acquaintance by the 
name of Hedden, then living on the 
back road between Rockaway and Hi- 
bernia, the only road then traveled, at 
that time perhaps a bridle path, and the 
family induced him to leave the infant 
in their care until he should return in 
two or three weeks, which arrangement 
had been satisfactorily made, and Timo- 
thy proceeded ou his journey, saying, 
that when he returned the family would 
be amply repaid for their kindness and 



trouble, and other arrangements for the 
keeping of the child satisfactorily made. 

He was never heard from again, and 
it was thought that he had died grief 
stricken before he had reached his rela- 
tives, as they had never received any 
tidings from their relative, and a case of 
misplaced confidence, or intended disap- 
periug was unusual, as the ties of af- 
fection were stronger iu those days than 
in this present day and generation. 

Young Timothy grew up with the 
Hedden family, and became as one of 
their lai*ge family of children, the hos- . 
pitality of the early settlers had no 
boundary however scanty of provisions 
or clothing or close quarters the house 
provided, there was always room and a 
welcome for one more. Timothy grew 
up in these surroundings, married in 
early life, became a prominent member 
in the circle of society in those days, 
was a soldier iu the Revolution, re- 
turned and died from the effects of his 
service for his country, a few years 
after near the place where he was 



n6 



"brought up," and was probably buried 
at Rockaway, though we have no writ- 
ten records to prove the same, we ac- 
cept it traditionally. 

He had quite a large family of chil- 
dren, who became connected with many 
of the good people of that time and 
generation. Nancy, was born 1768, 
married David Gordon, a Revolutionary 
soldier, soon after the Revolution. He 
was son of William, a captain in the 
army, who was the son of Joshua, a 
quartermaster in the army. Son, 
father and grandfather all doing 
service at one time. David Gor- 
don, served many years, it is 
said forty, as the "old sexton" of Rock- 
away. Dr. Tuttle's tribute to the "old 
sexton," brings out the character and 
duties and life of early days of service. 
He was born, Sept. 23, 1759, and died 
July 23, 1852. His wife died Feb. 1851, 
both buried at Rockaway. 

Neoini, born Oct. 2, 1772, married 
Samuel Palmer, of Franklin, Mar., 1791, 
and died May 20, 1851. Samuel Palmer 
was sou of Jacob, who came from Long 
Island and married Phebe Lyon and set- 
tled at Franklin. Samuel was born at 
Franklin Nov. 20, 1769, and died there J 



Sept. 28, 1845. Both buried at Rocka- 
way. 

Timothy, the third named Timothy, 
became a prominent citizen of Morris 
County, and distinguished himself as 
school teacher, justice of peace and law- 
yer and died near Lake Hopatcoug, date 
not known. 

Isaac and Benjamin are on the Rock- 
away church records as members at an 
early date, but whether of this family, I 
am not certain, it is quite certain there 
were a number of daughters, whose 
names and records have been handed 
down to this generation. Who can tell? 

Tradition has it that this family of 
Southards who came from Long Island, 
were related and connected with the 
family of Abraham Southard, who came 
from Long Island and settled at Bask- 
ing Ridge in 1755. His son, Henry born 
Oct., 1747, was a revolutionary soldier, 
and afterwards congressman, died June 
2, 1842. Samuel L., son of Henry, born 
at Basking Ridge June 9, 1787, also dis- 
tinguished himself as senator, secretary 
of navy, and also many high offices of 
this State, where he was known as "New 
Jersey's favorite son," he died at Fred- 
ericksburg, Va., June 26, 1842. 



Che Calmagc Familp. 



The researches made by genealogists 
during the last five years have made 
many changes in the old families of the 
early settlements, and it may be pre- 
dicted that the next five years will make 
still greater changes. Traditions will 
be a thing of the past, as no stone will 
be left unturned, and the coming years 
will develope many things good, bad 
and indifferent, that may have belonged 
to our ancestors, and a search for pos- 
sible traits of character, handed down to 
the present generation will find their 
way to all the general law courts, as a 
remedy for all the ills the flesh is heir to. 

In .the finding of an old will in Eng- 
land, dated 1638, made by John Tal- 
mage, mention is made of the children 
of his sou Thomas, who came to Ameri- 
ca, authorities say to Boston, in 1630. 
William, probably died unmarried. 
Robert, settled at a later date at New 
Haven Thomas, settled at South Hamp- 
ton, L. I. Jane, married Robert Walk- 
er, of Boston. The son of Thomas (2), 
also named Thomas, settled at East 



Hampton, where his father sojourned in 
his old age and died there. Benjamin, 
settled at Brookfield, L. I., and his sons 
came to New York. There were sous of 
Thomas the younger : Euos, and Daniel, 
who came to Elizabeth in 1719, and died 
there 1725. 

This Daniel born 1693 of the fifth 
generation seems to be progenitor of the 
Talmage family in New Jersey. He 
had children : Daniel, Thomas and Han- 
nah, who married John Ross, of Eliza- 
beth. Thomas was born Mar. 1722, 
married Hannah Norris 1745, had chil- 
dren : Daniel, born 1746, married Loisa, 
daughter of Oapt. Job Allen (1), of 
Rockaway, Dec. 21, 1766, by the Rev. 
Timothy Johues, of Morristowu. He 
was at Basking Ridge at this time, and 
it is said also lived on the present David 
Lash farm, near Rockaway, and from 
thence removed to Sussex Oounty and 
enlisted as a private in the second Sus- 
sex Regiment, under Col. Benj. Tustin, 
Major Samuel Meeker and Oapt. Joseph 
Harker. Eighty in all were ambushed 



u8 



by the Indians under Joseph Brandt, at 
Lackawaxeu, Pa. Forty-four were 
killed, of these twelve were Sussex men, 
among them was Daniel Talmage, July 
22, 1779. Forty-three years after the 
massacre they were buried at Goshen, 
N. Y., and a monument erected with 
their names inscribed. Col. John 
Hathorn, then eighty years of ape, laid 
the foundation stone July 22, 1822. 
John and Enos died in youth. Thomas, 
born Mar. 1722, married second wife 
Elizabeth Wicks, had eight children. 
Six daughters, names unknown. Thom- 
as and Noah. Married third wife. 

Thomas, was born 1752, married Mary 
McCoy 1772. She was born 1758. He 
died Nov. 16, 1832, had 13 children. 
She died at Somerville Nov. 3, 1834. 
The followiug are children as far as- 
known : Goyn, died 1812 ; Daniel, David 
G., born Apr. 21, 17,73, married Catha- 
rine YanNest Dec. 19, 1803, died Oct. 
27, 1865. She was borti Mar. 27, 1787, 
died Oct. 27. 1862. Jehial, born 1784, 
died at Bloomfield, N. J., Sept. 27, 1854. 
Thomas, John, and some records Sam- 
uel. 

Noah Talmage of the state troops lo-

Cbe VanDerwort Familp, 



A California correspondent wrote me 
that one Peter VanDervoort, a Revolu- 
tionary soldier, was buried at the Rock- 
away Cemetery, and gave the location 
as near as he could remember, but that 
there was no monumental record of the 
same. On further inquiry I found that 
tradition had associated him as a "Skin- 
ner." and of the same company of 
Paulding, VauWart and Williams, the 
captors of Major Andre as every school 
boy can tell, and would have been on 
patrol, had it been his night out. All 
these traditions might have been woven 
in a very pretty story, and, possibly no 
contradictions, as Peter had been dead 
over seventy years, and the incidents 
transacted about 120 years. 

Now if Peter was a Revolutionary 
soldier, lie could not have been a "Skiu- 
ner," the lawless Americans who pa- 
troled the neutral grounds of Rockland 
and Westchester counties and along the 
Hudson river, more for plunder than 
patriotism, as the "cowboys" did on the 
British side. For more particulars of 



"cow boys" and "skinners," see Irving's 
Life of Washington. 

Perhaps his name might nave been 
among the fifty thousand furnished by 
the State of New York in the Revolu- 
tion, but it was not there. Perhaps 
Paulding, Van Wart and Williams were 
"skinners" but not so, they were regu- 
larly enlisted men on duty of patrol. 
These questious placed me in communi- 
cation with Mr. J. C. L. Hamilton, 
a descendant of Alexander Hamilton, an 
able historian from Westchester county, 
and one familiar by research of these 
famous neutral grounds, and a special 
inquiry from Adjt. Gen. W. S. Stryker, 
of Trenton. Perhaps the school boy 
may know more of the captors of Maj . 
Andre, if I may quote here from Hamil- 
ton in his "Poverty and Patriotism on 
the Neutral Grounds" and why history 
mentions only three of the seven captors 
of Andre. 

"The capture of Major John Andre 
gave these Neutral Grounds the proud 
distinction of producing the first medal 



122 



of honor presented to soldiers of 
the republic. Three alone of the seven, 
which composed this small band of pa- 
triots, were awarded a medal inscribed 
"Fidelity." John Paulding, Isaac Van- 
Wart, David Williams, Isaac See, James 
Romer, John Yerks, John Dean, Ser- 
geant. 

"These captors, in accordance with an 
agreement, sold the watch, horse, sad- 
dle and bridle taken from Major Andre 
and made equal division of the proceeds 
between the seven, after which they all 
contributed an equal amount toward de- 
fraying the expenses of one of their num- 
ber to Philadelphia in order to lay the 
importance of the service rendered be- 
fore Congress, with the expectation that 
all of them would be suitably rewarded. 
The member entrusted with this mis- 
sion, after arrival in Philadelphia, came 
in contact with a member of Congress 
from the State of New Jersey, said to 
be not very friendly to the cause of in- 
dependence, who, learning the particu- 
lars of the capture, advised that no men- 
tion of the four additional members 
should be made, for fear that Congress 
would refuse to grant any reward." 

Adjt. Gen. Stryker finds Peter O. 
VanDervoort a private and minute man 
in the Bergen county, N. J. Militia, also 
the names of Garrett and Cornelius Van- 
Dervoort. Now Garrett and Cornelius 
were brothers of Peter P. VanDervoort, 
as the Bible records give the name. The 
Bergen county militia operated more or 
less upon the Neutral Grounds of the 
Hudson, the home of the VauDervoorts. 

Garrett, it is related, was sent home on 



sick furlough with many from his com- 
pany, from the fact, as was afterward 
ascertained, of having eaten too much 
bread made from the flour purchased on 
these Neutral Grounds that contained a 
large percentage of stone that had been 
ground and mixed in the flour making 
it indigestible. It was a very mean trick 
and drew the line on which side of the 
Neutral fence the miller belonged. 

Cornelius VanDervoort, soon after the 
Revolution came to Rockaway; was a car- 
penter by trade, and worked seventy- 
seven days in the rebuilding of the 
old Presbyterian Church at Rockaway, 
under Contractor Job Allen in 1794. 
He must have been a very sober 
and industrious man, and a good work- 
man, as Job Allen only worked eighty- 
three and one-half days, while a score or 
more employed worked a far less number 
and one but half a day. One of the daugh- 
ters of Cornelius married and lived at 
Rockaway. I have no further records 
of Garrett or Cornelius. There was a 
Garrett and Cornelius who lived near 
Warwick, N. ,Y., but upon inquiry no 
relationship was claimed to our Peter P. 
Mention is made of one Michael a proba- 
ble brother, who married Martha Lea- 
man, and had children : Paul, Michael, 
John, Jonas, Peter, Elizabeth, Martha 
and Hannah. I will leave this branch 
for the work of some future historian to 
unravel. Further researches find the 
old stone house, now standing near the 
Ponoma station, as the home of the Van- 
Dervoorts. 

Peter P. VanDervoort, Holland Dutch 
descent, as the name implies, and old tra- 



123 



ditious relate, was born in Rockland 
county, New York, Nov. 25, 1753, and 
married Phebe, daughter of William 
Ooe, about 1773. She was bora Sept. 18, 
1755, and a part of the children were 
born in Rockland county. Soon after 
the Revolution the family located on the 
"Billy Scott" farm about a mile above 
Hibernia, and from thence removed to 
the Ooperas Mine near Green Pond, at 
which place he died about 1830, and was 
buried at Rockaway. It is related that his 
wife died soon after while on a visit to 
her daughter Nelly's at Edenville, N. Y., 
and was buried at Warwick, N. Y., but 
no trace or monumental record confirms 
it, as she would have been buried in the 
Dusenberrie plot \vhere her daughter 
and some of the children are buried. 

Children : William, born May 26, 1774, 
married and went to Berne, Albany 
county, N, Y., May 23, 1793, and from 
thence removed to Louisiana, and was 
never heard from. There are numerous 
descendants at St. Louis, Mo. 

Ellenor, or Nelly, born Nov. 22, 1776, 
married Daniel 0. Dusenberrie, lived at 
Edenville, Orange county, N. Y., died 
Mar. 11, 1835, and buried at Warwick, 
N. Y. 

Peter, born May 22, 1779, married a 
Vreeland and lived at Macoupin, Pas- 
saic county, N. J. He had a daughter 
who also married a Vreeland, and a sou 
William, who married a Jacobus and 
removed to Akron, Ohio, and from 
thence to Prarie du Sac, Wis. 

Garrett, born Aug. 25, 1781, married 
Magdaline Losey Jan. 5, 1802, was in 
the 1812 war, and killed at the burning 



of Toronto, Canada, by the Americans 
in 1813. 

Hannah, born May 27, 1784, married 
George Liukletter, perhaps the only one 
of that name in the United States, lived 
at Edenville, N. Y. Had children : John, 
who married and removed to Woodland 
Centre, Berry County, Mich ; James, 
married Jane Halstead, and went to 
Painted Post, Chemung County, N. Y. 
Charles, Caroline, Sarah, Mary Alice 
and Phebe. Charles and Sarah are still 
living at an advanced age. 

Elizabeth, born April 10, 1791, mar- 
ried Edmund Raymond and went to 
Niagara County, N. Y. 

Phebe, born Dec. 16, 1793, married 
Beaman, son of George Stickle, of Rock- 
away, Mar. 28, 1818, removed to Cottage 
Grove, Wis. He was born Apr. 10, 1794, 
died July 5, 1884. 

Samuel, born Jan. 1, 1797, married a 
Duryea, who died 1842 and was buriod 
at Rockaway near the grave of Peter P. 
VanDervoort. 

Daniel C. Dusenberrie, of Edenville, 
N. Y., was a soldier in 1812 war, a pri- 
vate in Capt. Austen's Company and did 
service at Long Island. He married (2) 
Phebe Mills, June 27, 1838. She was a 
daughter of John and Cleo (Wines) 
Mills, who at one time owned the farm 
and mills at Ninkey where J. Andrew 
Casterliue resides. He was so well 
pleased with his first wife who came 
from Morris County that it was quite 
natural that he should get his second 
wife from Morris County. All buried 
at Warwick Cemetery, N. Y. 



Daniel Wrisberg. 



Daniel Wrisberg is mentioned in the 
lease with John Jacob Faesch as one of 
the parties of the second part for Mount 
Hope.dated Feb. 23, 1873,Col. Jacob Ford 
being the party of the first part. Wris- 
berg probably came with Faesch from 
Germany, and was a man with consid- 
erable means and invested with Faesch 
in the iron business. As his name is not 
mentioned in any connection after this 
date he probably died soon after and 



tradition relates that he left £100 to the 
Rockaway church with a provision that 
he was to be buried # under the pulpit of 
the church. As there are no church rec- 
ords of this date, it is more than proba- 
ble that the provisions were complied 
with, and we would place the date of 
death and burial 1773. If there are any 
historical facts, other than tradition, re- 
lating to the same we should be pleased 
to know of them.

I do not find any traces of relation- 
ship of this Ayres family with the Ayres 
family who came from Woodbridge, N. 
J., though many of the names are simi- 



lar. Ezekiel brother of Obadiah settled 
at Basking Ridge, N. J. , and William 
near Belvidere.

Ok Cole ?amilp. 



Tradition says that Leonard Cole and 
family came from Amsterdam, Holland, 
and first settled near Milton, in Morris 
County, about 1740 or '50, when his son 
Henry was only four years old. He 
married a second wife here by the name 
of Almeda Hartruin, or McOloud, name 
uncertain, and had sous : Abraham, 
Peter, Leonard, Jacob, and daughters : 
Phebe and Elizabeth. I have heard it 
related of this family, as well as some 
other Dutoh families, that the children 
were never named only such names as 
could be shortened or nicknamed, and 
thus we have, Brom, Pete, Lent, Jake, 
Pebe and Bets, an advautage, certaiuly j 
where life did not reach the full three 
score and ten years. 

A sister of the original Leonard mar- 
ried Israel Holly, one of the first settlers 
of old Stockholm. There is a tradition 
that their first child, a daughter, was 
taken when very youug by the Iudiaus, 
who at that time frequently passed 
through that section on their way to the 
Delaware country, and that she grew up 



with the tribe and became as one of 
them. Some years after it was learned 
where she was but she refused to return 
to her parents. 

Phebe, married Benjamin Oastimore, 
and Elizabeth married Gerret Kimble, 
the progenitors of the names of that sec- 
tion of Morris County. Abraham died 
at an age of 104 years. Jacob settled 
and built the first houses of logs east of 
where the Cliutou reservoir now is and 
had children : Leonard, Frederick, Abra- 
ham, Willhelm, Mary and perhaps 
others. Leonard married Rachel Daven- 
port, who was the mother of Almeda, 
wife of Joel Harrison, of Stockholm, 
and died at his house in the '50s at an 
advanced age. Frederick, who settled 
at Clinton, married Polly, daughter of 
John and Leah (Brooks) Davenport, and 
Mary married Abraham (Brom) Van- 
Druff, the progenitor of that family. 
The Angle family was also connected 
with the Coles by marriage in the early 
settlement of Clinton. Samuel Angle, 
sou of John and Mary (Burwell) Angle, 



130 



who came from Newark and settled in 
the Sparta mountains, settled near Clin- 
ton and had children : Edward, who 
married Elizabeth Phillips, daughter of 
David, (the drummer boy in the Revolu- 
tion,) and Nancy Rose. Joshua, David's 
father served in the Revolution. Catha- 
rine, married Frederick Cole, Jr.; Betsey, 
married Abraham Cole ; Polly, married 
Silas VanOrden, and Mary, married 
William Wagoner. All being old resi- 
dents and of revolutionary stock. The 



name Polly and Mary seems to have 
been two distinct names. 

At this date, for want of the old rec- 
ords, we have accepted old traditions, as 
it would be impossible to trace the origi- 
nal Cole family, with all their inter- 
marriages with the early settlers, the 
hardy pioneers, of Morris County. 
Their descendants have been numerous, 
and scattered through the early settle- 
ments, and have been well represented 
in Revolutionary and Civil wars.

CDc Fairer family. 



In the oarly days of Morris County 
the name Farher occasionally occurs. 
The name is spelled in many ways. 
Tradition has it that they were a German 
people and first settled near Morristown, 
N. J., probably between Meudham and 
Morristown. Paul Parber and wife 
Mary were early members of the Pres- 
byterian Church at Morristown, and the 
records have Amos, baptized Oct. 30, 
1763; Paul, baptized Apr. 21, 1765; 
Anne, baptized Aug. 13, 1768 ; a child 
died July 14, 1769; Hannah, was born 
Nov. 17,1770, baptized -June 30, 1771 ; 
Elizabeth, born Mar. 16, baptized June 
23, 1775 ; a child died Aug. 9, 1777. 

A Mrs. Parber, probable mother of 
Paul, died Feb. 1776, at the age of 104 
years. They probably moved away soon 
after 1777. The Rockaway records have 
early dates of the family. Paul Farber, 
Jr., settled near Stockholm in 1785 from 
Rockaway, N. J. ; he died Mar. 1848, and 
is buried at the old"Lyons"burial ground 
near Stockholm, N. J. His wife was 
Elizabeth Rude, a sister of Caleb Rude, 



who removed from Morris Connty to 
near Hamburg, in Sussex County, at an 
early date. She died 1842 aged 81 years. 

Hannah Farber born Nov. 17, 1770, 
married Thomas Harrison, who located 
at Canisteer, N. J., then called Win- 
chester, in 1764. They had children: 
William, Joel and Mary, who married 
Feb. 1827, Isaac VanGelder, who attend- 
ed lock near Dover, N. J., mauy years 
ago, and they had perhaps other chil- 
dren. 

Joel Harrison lived near Stockholm, 
N. J., married Almeda, daughter of 
Leonard Cole, who was born Feb. 12. 
1798, and had children : John, bom 1820, 
married Garrison, of West Milford, N. 
J. ; Thomas, born 1822, married Cary, of 
West Milford ; Elizabeth, never mar- 
ried ; Harriet, married Anthony Brau- 
niu, of Mt. Hope, N. J. ; Abraham, mar- 
ried Elizabeth Henderson, of Canisteer, 
N. J. ; William, Jacob, Henry, Hannah 
and Augusta. Nearly all removed 
West. 

Paul Farber, Jr., bought considerable 



134 



lands, as the old deeds show, in Ver- 
non and Hardiston townships, Sussex 
county, N. J., and was connected with 
many business enterprises. Children of 
Paul and Elizabeth (Rude) Farber : 
Anna married Nicholas Ryerson, of Ver- 
non, N. J. ; Elizabeth married Peter 
Ryerson of the same place ; Paul, born 
1793, married Lucy, some records have 
Lucinda, daughter of Abraham A. 
Strait, of Canisteer, N. J. ; Caleb mar- 
ried Elizabeth LaRoe, of New Found- 



land, N. J. ; Israel, born 1800, married 
Abigail Rickey, of Vernon, died Dec. 25, 
1872 ; Abigail married Samuel Givens, 
of Vernon. Caleb and Israel lived in 
the old Farber neigh borhood, near Ver- 
non, and have many descendants in 
Sussex county. Paul, who married 
Lucy Strait, headed a party of 
about thirty families from Sussex county 
and settled in Franklin county, Ohio, 
in 1885, and these families are now 
scattered through many of the Western 
States. 



Ok 6obk Family. 



The traditions of the Goble family 
were that they were French Hugenots 
who fled to prevent religious persecu- 
tions and settled in North Carolina, and 
that iheir names originally were Enoch. 
Abuer, Silas, Aaron and Martha. A 
large number of the descendants, proba- 
bly not all of one family, settled in Mor- 
ris county, N. J., previous to 1750. John, 
married Elizabeth Bnrvvell, Dec. 22, 
1748, and is mentioned in the early 
Rockaway records. Simeon, a probable 
son of Enoch, as the name of Enoch 
runs in the family line, married Abigail 
Conger Feb. 23, 1749, he died about 1775, 
and had children : Enoch, Abuer. Sally, 
Martha, Luther and Calvin, perhaps 
others. His wife married (2) Ebenezer 
Stiles, May 4, 1778, as second wife, lived 
at Morris Plains, N. J. She was born 
1732, died Dec. 7, 1810. William Goble 
married Sarah Conger Mar. 21, 1760. 
Benjamin Goble married Elizabeth 
Conger March 3, 1757. Henry Goble 
married Lvdia Conger Dec. 11, 1765.

1783. His wife, Mary, born 1701, died 
Feb. 20, 1786. Aaron Goble born 1752, 
married Charity Lindsley Jan. 30, 1772, 
died Feb. 1, 1802. His wife born 1751 
died June 4, 1795. Daniel Goble mar- 
ried Priscilla Cook Apr. 1, 1744. Jonas 
Goble married Ruth Fairchild Dec. 10, 
1765. Ruth Goble married Nathan 
Reeve Feb. 18, 17P8. Rachel Goble 
married Isaac Southard Apr. 12, 1769. 
Hannah Goble married Ichabod Tomp- 
kins Dec. 24, 1746. Salome married 
Ebenezer Fairchild Aug. 1750. Sally 
married Josephus Gard June 23, 1798. 

Of the children of Benjamin and Ex- 
perience Conger, Simeon married Abi- 
gail Goble and Beujamiu married Eliza- 
beth Goble. This is a most singular oc- 
currence that two brothers of the same 
name in one family should marry sis- 
ters of the same name in another family. 

Enoch, the probable son of Simeon, 
married (1) Abigail (Ogden) Stiles, 
daughter of David Ogden, and widow 
of Thomas Stiles. She died soon after 
marriage. (2) Mary Cooper, who was 



136 



bom 1746, died Oct. 21, 1798. Children : 
Mary (twin) married Jacob, son of Uzal 
Tompkins, Phebe (twin) married Jede- 
diah, son of Timothy Mills. William, 
born 1798, married Hannah, daughter of 
Uzal Tompkins, Dec. 17, 1799, died Oct. 
14, 1833. She died Mar. 9, 1860. Enoch 
married and went to Ohio, had Israel 
and Tempe, who died before 1840. Enoch 
married (3) Hannah Doty. 

Children of William and Hannah 
(Tompkins) Goble : Mary, born Sept. 25, 
1800, married William M. Crane, of 
New Vernon, N. J., 1825. Lucinda, 
born Aug. 4, 1803, never married, died 
Cct. 3, 1833. Benjamin, born at Sparta, 
Sussex county, N. J., Dec. 29, 1806. 
His parents removed from Sparta to 
New Vernon when he was nine mouths 
old, married (1) Catharine Losey, had 
nine children. (2) Margaret Smith, had 
three children, died at New Vernon 
Aug. 1898. Harsey King, born at New 
Vernon Jan. 28, 1809, died Mar. 4, 
1846. Henry Tompkius, born at New 
Vernon July 5, 1814, died Oct. 17, 1815. 

Catharine Losey )was a daughter of 
Aaron and Alice Sirncox) Losey. Alice 
Simcox was born Jau. 23, 1772, died Dec. 



16, 1836. Their daughter, Phebe Ann, 
married Joseph Jacksou, sou of Daniel 
Ayres, of Franklin, Sept. 27, 1827. 
Alice (Simcox) Losey married (2) Deacon 
John Hill 1808, and had children : Jane, 
John O. and Harriet. Tradition relates 
that she was a sister of Mary Simcox, 
wife of Capt. William Alger, of Rocka- 
way. Deacon John and wife Alice were 
buried at Morristown Baptist Cemetery, 
and removed to the Hill Cemetery at 
Franklin. N. J . 

I am indebted to the late Benjamin 
Goble, who made a visit in July 1898, 
but a few weeks before his death, for 
many of the connections and dates of 
this family and also of the Tompkins 
family so nearly related. "Uncle" Ben, 
as every one in this section called him, 
was then in his 93rd year and then bid 
fair to reach the century mark. In the 
eai ly days whole communities were so 
nearly related by the intermarriages 
that all were "Uncle," "Aunt" and 
"Cousins." Very mauy of the Goble 
family were connected with the Baptist 
church at Morristown, N. J., and buried 
there, and a few are on the early records 
of the Rockaway church, and are proba- 
bly buried in the cemetery. 



Ox Huntington Familp. 



The Huntington family came from 
Norwich, Eng. Simon, his wife Mar- 
garet (Berret) formally a French Huge- 
not, and their three sons, Christopher, 
Simon (2) and Thomas. On the voy- 
age he was taken ill with fever and 
dysentery, one authority says smallpox, 
and died while in sight of land near the 
mouth of the Connecticut river, was 
buried at Say brook, Ct., 1633. He was 
born 1583. He had a brother Samnel in 
England*who was captain in the King's 
Life Guard. 

His wife became a member of the Rev. 
John Elliot's church at Roxbury, Mass., 
where she probably married as the third 
wife of Thomas Stoughton, of Winsor, 
who came from Dorcester, Eng., on the 
same ship with Simon Huntington. 
The sons settled at Say brook, Ct. Chris- 
topher and Simon went afterward to 
Norwich, Ct., and Thomas to Winsor, 
Ct., and from thence to Branford, Ct., 
and with the Branford Colony in May 
1666, to Newark, N. J. 

Thomas married (1) a daughter of 



William Swaine, of Whethersfield, Ct. 
(2) Hannah, daughter of Jasper Crane, 
merchant, who moved from New Haven, 
Ct., to Banford, Ct., 1652, and came 
with the Banford Colony to Newark in 
1666. Thomas was born in England 
about 1626, died at Newark 1687. Han- 
nah, his widow, married (2) John Ward- 
sen as second wife. 

Thomas and Hannah (Crane) had chil- 
dren : Samuel and Hannah. Samuel 
was born 1667 died 1708. The will dated 
Nov. 11, 1704, names children, Thomas, 
who had wife Susanna ; Simon born 1686 
had wife Thankful, died in Morris coun- 
ty, perhaps at Whippany, July 17, 1770, 
and Hannah. The will of Simon men- 
tions a brother Samuel. 

Children of Simon and wife Thankful 
(who was she?) : Samuel had wife Eliza- 
beth ; Eunice married Isaac Ogdeu, one 
of the founders and subscribers of the 
Rockaway Church in 1758. Probably 
lived, died and was buried there, date 
unknown. Phebe, married Gershom 
Gard, sou on Jemimah and Elizabeth, 



i;8 



Jan. 18, 1758, lived at Ninkey, N. J., 
removed to Ohio in 1787. Capt. Ger- 
shom Gard was one of the seven sons 
who served in the Revolution. Eliza- 
beth married Thomas, son of Timothy 
Pierson, Dec. 10. 1760. He was born 
1737, died May 16, 1782, both probably 
buried at Rockaway. Sarah married 
Winter ; Simon married Sybe ; John 
married Elizabeth Heady, of Morris- 
town, N. J., by Rev. Timothy Johues, 
June 16, 1750. He was resident at Mor- 
ristown, and member of the Presbyteri- 
church to 1758, when he became a resid- 
dent and manager of the iron works at 
Shongum, and was prominent as a mem- 
ber, officer and subscriber to the Rocka- 
way church, holding at this early date 
pew number one. Deacon John was 
quartermaster under Gen. William 
Winds. 

Children of John and Elizabeth 
(Heady) Huntington. Synon, baptized 
•July 29, 1759 ; Gillard, baptized Feb. 21, 
1760, both become members of the Rock- 
away church in 1793. John was born 
at Shongum, Nov. 2, 1779, and baptized 
there Oct. 21, 1782. Abraham, of Shon- 
gum, married Sarah Losey, May 10, 
1796. Deacon John Huntington died 
about 1782 or 3 as no records of the 
church show, his children remained at 
Shongum until about 1800. He was 
more than probably buried at Rocka- 
way, this being at the time of "Dark 
Ages" for church records, no mention 
is made at Rockaway or at Morristown. 
As none of the name was among the list 



of communicants Oct. 11, 1808, it is 
probable the families removed not later 
than 1800. 

Soon after the Revolution many of 
the old families of this section sought 
the more fertile lands of the West, 
Western New York, Ohio, Kentucky 
and Indiana, and not a few to Vermont, 
and with them the old Bibles that con- 
tained the records of the old families. 

This sketch may seem insignificant to 
the general reader, but researches have 
been made from the New Englald Gene- 
alogical Records, Savage's Genealogies, 
The HuntiDgtou Family, Conger's New- 
ark Families, State and County records j 
Church records of Rockaway and Mor- 
ristown, and all these fail to show mauy 
of the minor details that would make it 
more of interest. 

The names Simon and Samuel are 
prominent in the family connections. 
Samuel Huntington, one of the signers 
of the Declaration of Independence was 
son of Nathaniel, the farmer, the son of

Ok Cee Familp. 



In writing of this historic family so 
nearly related to many of our Morris 
County families in Revolutionary times, 
and in the research so much valuable in- 
formation has been learned that it will 
be more extended than many others. 
The recent collections of Miss Sidney 
Lyon and Gen. Albert Lee, (Civil War) 
and from many other sources I am en- 
abled to connect the relationship for 
many geueratious. I shall be pleased to 
learn any additional information or cor- 
rection, from the readers of this sketch. 

The founder of this family was Lance- 
lot de Lee, who came over with William 
the Conqueror in the Norman conquest 
to England. He so distinguished him- 
self in the battle of Hastings Saturday, 
Oct. 14, 1066, which lasted from early 
morn until sunset, and in which the Eng- 
lish were totally defeated that William 
the Conqueror rewarded him with large 
estates in Essex, Eng. Lionel Lee, a di- 
rect descendant of Lancelot, fought with 
King Richard I in the Holy Laud, and 
displayed such valor in the taking of 



Acre, June 8 to July 12, 1191, that he 
was rewarded with large estates and 
made Earl of Litchfield. 

Tradition relates that John Lee, of 
Lee Hall, Nottingham, Eng., the third 
Earl of Litchfield, had one son Robert. 
Robert Lee had son William, who on ac- 
count of religious persecution fled to the 
colonies and settled at Hempstead, L. I., 
1675. He married Mary Marvin, whose 
mother's maiden name was Mary 
Brown, and died at Hempstead 1724. 
Of Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Lee, 
we have no records. 

In 1683 the Governor of New York re- 
quired the town of Hempstead to take 
out a new patent, and 2% pence per 
acre was levied on all lands held by in- 
dividuals in the town which numbered 
160, number of acres 16,563. William 
Lee was assessed with 40 acres. 

William and Mary (Marvin) Lee had 
Thomas, who was a farmer near Hemp- 
stead. He was never married. After the 
death of his brother Joseph, who mar- 
ried Abigail Price, of Hempstead, and 



142 



died in middle age, he reared the chil- 
dren and became well to do. John and 
Robert, sons of William, served in the 
Colonial wars with the French, and both 
died of fever soon after their return 
home at Hempstead. William had also 
six daughters, of whom no records are 
found.

Island 1731, died at Littleton, N. J., 
1791. Thomas was a Revolutionary 
soldier ; died at the residence of his son 
Maj. William at Littleton, Jan. 7, 1804. 
John and Thomas removed from Hemp- 
stead to the notheru part of Westchester 
County, N. Y. John's farm was after- 
wards owned by Maj. Paulding, one of 
the captors of Maj. John Andre, now 
the property of Jacob L. Strang, who 
married a Lee. Thomas removed to 
Littleton, Morris county, N. J., in 1764.

November 21, 1810. 
Dear Brother : I take this opportu- 
nity to inform you that I am well and 
the family at this time. I hope these 
few lines will find you in good health. 
I received a letter from you three years 
ago by the hand of Mr. Lyon. At that 
time I was sick and did not say any- 
thing to the man, but that I was very 
glad to hear from you and your family. 
I have this night come three miles to 
write to you, so that you must not think 
I have forgotten you yet. I have 
nothing new to write, but I will let you 
know how many children we have, five 
sous and five daughters. (Here follows 
the names of children to this date, which 
are given with dates.) Dear brother 
you may wonder why my children have 
not all of them two names. I will tell 
you the reason is that I was fearful there 
would not be names enough to be found. 
If you have any good names in your 
country, except your own, you will send 
me one or two or as many more as you 
think will be wanted and oblige your 
brother. I send this letter by the hand of 
Stephen Lee, son of Paul Lee, and Jo- 
seph Lee, son of Israel Lee, in company. 
I have not seen our hrother Thomas Lee 
for almost seven years, but I heard from 
him last May and he was well. The 
family at that time had two children, 
one son and one daughter. I conclude 
and remain your brother, 

William Lee. 

To Peter Lee : Now dear brother, 



since William has complimented you so 
well, I will talk with you on other sub- 
jects. Father Lee lived with us a little 
more than thirteen years. It is useless 
to tell you how it is, enough to describe 
the last thirteen mouths of his life. The 
first part of December he was taken 
strangely ill, for two months we were 
with him night and day. He recovered 
his health, but had lost the use of his 
legs, He would feed himself when the 
victuals were brought to his bedside. 
He never walked a step more while he 
lived. Some time in November he was 
taken more ill. The last of December 
we could plainly see a great alteration. 
New Years morning he gave us all the 
satisfaction we ever wanted. He was 
fully satisfied with all that we 
had ever done for him. He wished 
for all the children to come to his room 
that he might see them all before he 
died. He kissed them all and remained 
in that affectionate state of mind until 
the seventh day on which he died. You 
have heard the number of our children 
and a small part of the change of our 
father. Taken into consideration, few 
have so long experienced that faithful 
saying, once a man and twice a child. 

Dear brother and sister since so long 
an interval by the way of a letter, I 
think we can all afford to pay postage. 
I kindly request you to send an answer 
by post immediately after you receive 
these few broken Hues, since we have 
no other acquaintance than by letter. I 
remain the sincere relation that I now 
stand. My love to all. Abigail Lee. 

P. S. January 1810 will be six years 
since our father left this world. He 
told me to remember him to all his chil- 
dren as I should have opportunity. I 
wrote you a number of letters but have 
received no answer from you. L. 

This letter to Peter Lee is in posses- 
sion of B'rauk Lee, son of Rodney Jef- 
ferson Lee, the son of Peter Lee.

Washington's attorney general ; "Light 
Horse Harry," born Jan. 29, 1756, mar- 
ried (1) his cousin, Matilda Lee, and had 
four children ; married (2) Ann Hill 
Carter and had six children. He was 



appointed major general and was a 
member of Congress in 1799 ; died in 
Georgia March 25, 1818. Sidney Smith 
Lee, was the father of Gen. Fitzhugh 
Lee. 

The youngest son of "Light Horse 
Harry" was Robert Edward Lee, born 
Jan. 19, 1807, married 1831 Mary, daugh- 
ter of George Washington Park Custis ; 
had five children, died Oct. 12, 1870. 

Children of Gen. Robert E. Lee : 
George Washington Custis, W. H. Fitz- 
hugh, Robert Edward, )r., Mildred, and 
one other daughter. 

Gen. Charles Lee of Revolutionary 
service, once a formidable rival of Wash- 
ingtod, and who was captured by the 
British in Morris County, N. J., is not 
related to the Virginian Lees. 

The following may be a personal his- 
tory or experience somewhat relating to 
the Lee family and the Civil War. In 
the winters of '59, '60 and '61 some fif- 
teen or twenty of the boys from Stock- 
holm and Newfoundland, N. J., found 
employment at Williamsburg, Va. 
They usually went from New York on 
the Roanoke or Jamestown, two rickety 
old steamers that plied between New 
York and Richmond, landing at King's 
Mill Wharf near Williamsburg. These 
steamers were captured by the confedera- 
cy, and on the appearance of the Moni- 
tor in Southern waters, they with other 
craft were sunk near the mouth of the 
Appomattox river. To me they were 
objects of special interest in my excur- 
sions in war times on "Jeems" River. 

At Williamsburg it was a strange 
sight, and one not noticed in our North- 



H7 



era papers, to see fortnightly on Satur- 
day afternoons, all turn out for military 
drill and we attended from curiosity at 
these regular trainings in the old Col- 
lege City. 

The usual number went down in '60 
and '61 and in the Spring the Southern 
States were seceding very rapidly, and 
a large number of the boys were delayed 
in coming home until Virginia had se- 
ceded, and it was then impossible, and 
had it not been for the personal interest 
of Gen. Custis.of Williamsburg, Va., who 
was a lineal descendant of the Lees, 
Fitzhughs, and the first husband of 
Martha Washington, and the father of 
Robert E. Lee's wife, the boys would 
have conscripted in the Confederate 
army, but passes were furnished by Gen. 
Custis, and the boys allowed to cross 
the lines to their homes. 

The great majority of the boys on 
their return home enlisted in the Union 
army, and many fought over the same 
grounds they had become familiar with. 
I relate one incident of the war, John 
Nelson Kimble, who enlisted in the 15th 
N. J. Infantry, and when near Wil- 
liamsburg came across an old acquaint- 
ance, a negro boy, a slave of Gen. Cus- 
tis, and followed Master Nell, and be- 
came a mascot to the old 15th Regi- 
ment becoming useful in camp duties 
until the close of the war. After the war 
Kimble married, went to Ohio, and 
being an acquaintance with the daring 
General Custer, and enlisted, a short 
time before the Custer massacre on 
June 25, 1876, and he was never heard 
of more. 



War had many strange personal ex- 
periences, at one time we were en- 
camped on the sunny side of the Gen. 
Lee Mansion , and as raw recruits were 
facing the General with his well-drilled 
veterans, and at another on the trail of 
the General and his retreating army. 
On the memorable 3d day of April, 1865. 
our battery, the 4th N. J., was the first 
to enter Richmond to find that Lee had 
evacuated the city only a few hours be- 
fore. We were detailed to hold our po- 
sition at Camp Lee, while the Cavalry 
and Infantry followed in haste. Soon 
followed the greatest event of the war, 
"Lee had surrendered, and the war was 
over." 

As the news of the surrender came up 
the James River, we first heard the can- 
nons firing in quick succession, and as 
the news reached the camps and forts 
nearer, we could hear the accompani- 
ment, the bauds were playing, and as 
the news reached us our own cannons 
were firing very rapidly, but only with 
blank cartridges, and the bauds all over 
the city of Richmond were playing in 
double quick time, and this was repeat- 
ed to the north of us until the cannons' 
roar became as faint in the distance as 
when we first heard them. But few, 
Union or Confederate, slept on that 
eventful night, Lee had surrendered 
and the war was over. 

We saw General Lee on several occa- 
sions, not as a prisoner of war, but «s 
one of the greatest American generals. 
The boys in blue had frequent occasions 
to acknowledge this fact, but now, that 
the war was over, he was safe to pass 



148 



through our ranks everywhere, bearing j ty of the actors of the brave and noble 
the honors of a true soldier, and later as deeds, and they are now only war 
a quiet peace-loving citizen. There has memories to the few, and recalled as 
been a final roll call to the great majori- some wild, wierd dream of the past. 



6cn. "CigDt Rorse Barrp" Cec. 



This celebrated soldier, who largely 
occupied the public eye in the Revolu- 
tion is worthy of notice, both as an 
eminent member of the Lee family, and 
as the father of General Robert E. Lee. 

He was born in 1756, in the county of 
Westmoreland, Va., which boasts of 
being the birth place of Washington, 
Monroe, Richard Henry Lee, General 
Henry Lee and General Robert E. Lee. 
Presidents, statesmen and soldiers — and, 
after graduating at Princeton College, 
entered the army in 1776, as captain of 
cavalry, an arm of the service afterward 
adopted by his more celebrated descend- 
ant, in the United States Army. He 
soon displayed military ability of high 
order, and, for the capture of Paulus' 
Hook, received a gold medal from Con- 
gress. In 1781 he marched with his 
"Legion" to join Greene in the Caro- 
linas, carrying with him the high es- 
teem of Washington, who had witnessed 
Ins skillful and daring operations in the 
Jerseys. His career in the arduous cam- 
paigns of the South against Cornwallis, 



and the efficient commander of his cav- 
alry arm, Colonel Tarleton, may be best 
understood from General Greene's dis- 
patches, and from his own memoirs of 
the operations of the army, which are 
written with as much modesty as abili- 
ty. From these it is apparent that the 
small body of the "Legion" cavalry, 
under its active and daring commander, 
was the "eye and the ear" of Greene's 
army, whose movements it accompanied 
everywhere, preceding its advance, and 
covering its retreats. Few pages of 
military history are more stirriug than 
those of Lee's memoirs describing 
Green's retrograde movement to the 
Dan ; and this alone, if the hard work 
at the Entaws and elsewhere were left 
out, would place Lee's fame as a caval- 
ry officer upon a lasting basis. The dis- 
tinguished soldier, under whose eye the 
Virginian operated, did full justice to his 
courage and capacity. 

"I believe," wrote Gen. Greene, 
"that few officers either in Europe or 
America, are held in so high a position 



150 



of admiration as you are. Everybody 
knows I have the highest opinion of you 
as an officer, and you know I love you 
as a friend. No man in the progress of 
the campaign, had equal merit with 
yourself." The officer who wrote those 
lines was not a courtier or a diplomatist, 
but a blunt and honest soldier, who had 
seen Lee's bearing in the most arduous 
straits, and was capable of appreciating 
military ability. Add Washington's 
expression of his "love and thanks" in 
a letter written in 1789, and the light in 
which he was regarded by his contem- 
poraries will be understood. 

His "Memoirs of the War in tbe 
Southern Department" is a valuable 
military history and a very interesting 
book. 

After the war General Henry Lee 



served a term in congress ; was then 
elected governor of Virginia ; returned 
in 1799 to congress, and, in his oration 
upon the death of Washington, em- 
ployed the well known phrase, "First in 
war, first in peace and first in the hearts 
of his countrymen." He died in Georgia 
in the year 1818, having made a journey 
thither for the benefit of his health. 

General Henry Lee was married 
twice ; first, as we have said, to his 
cousin Matilda, through whom he be- 
came in possession of the old family es- 
rtate of Stratford, Va. ; and the second 
time, June 18, 1793, to Miss Anne Hill 
Carter, a daughter of Charles Carter, 
Esq., of "Shirley" on James River. 
The children of his second marriage 
were three sons and two daughters : 
Charles Carter, Robert Edward, Smith, 
Ann and Mildred. 



Col. 30D11 munson. 



The Presbyterian Church Records 
show that Capt, John Muiison became a 
member in 1773. He was connected 
with the iron interest of Rockaway pre- 
vious to the Revolution, and built "Guin- 
ea Forge" about 1770, which he sold with 
2,600 acres, to Joshua Winget, having 
failed in the iron business. The same 
tract was surveyed by Thomas Millage 
to Benj. Beach and Col. John Munson. 
He resided about one mile north of Rock- 
away on the Hibernia road. Was cap- 
tain at the beginning of the Revolution, 
a member of the Committee of Safety 
and Lt. Col. in 1776, and as colonel en- 
listed men in Rockaway and vicinity 
June 5, 1778, to serve nine months in the 
1st Reg. New Jersey Brigade. He 
probably died soon after this service, as 
no mention is made of him in the Church 
Records after the Revolution. 

No records as to who he married. 
Children were : Daniel, Elizabeth, born 



Feb. 12, 1763, married Nathaniel Fair- 
child June 24, 1799, who was a soldier 
in the Revolution, as these Bible rec- 
ords were sent to the pension office to 
secure the pension of the said Elizabeth 
Fairchild. Anna, married Minton, 
probably of Rockaway ; Margaret and 
John. 

Col. John was a probable brother of 
Capt. Solomon Munson, Jr., who mar- 
ried Mary Piersou Oct. 10, 1753. He 
was born 1725, died Feb. 8, 1803, and 
belonged to the 1st Company of the 3d 
Battalion. His son Ezekiel settled 
Munson's Hill, Dover; was born 1761 
and died Sept. 2, 1828. His wife Rhoda 
was born 1765 and died Nov. 15, 1827. 
Both buried in the Rockaway Cemetery. 
Descendants are still numerous in Mor- 
ris and Sussex counties. Will not some 
of them give further information in re- 
gard to Col. John Munson, of Rocka- 
way?

Ok Wiggins familp. 



A British biographer of Washington 
once made the assertion that in all the 
battles of the Revolution, Washington 
was never found at the front with the 
men he commanded. To prove to the 
contrary it was related by Jonathan 
Wiggins, who was at the battle of Mon- 
mouth, N. J., and lost an arm there, 
that the compauy to which Wiggins was 
attached, had made an advance to a 
point far exceeding the rest of the army, 
when Washington rode up and ordered 
a retreat to a position of less danger. 

Wiggins related that he with others 
were climbing over a high Virginia rail 
fence, when a British cannon ball struck 
in the line of fence and completely de- 
molished the under part of the fence, as 
they were in the act of getting over it, 
and scattered the fragments far and 
wide, much to the discomfort of the 
whole company. Fortunately no one was 
killed ; a few were slightly injured and 
all badly scared. 

Soon after this occurrence he lost an 
arm at Monmouth, and soon afterwards 



returned to Mt. Hope and was placed in 
command of Faesch's favorite team, a 
position of honor, especially when that 
team knew their driver and learned 
that his word was law, and his whip 
was gospel. It is related that he became 
an expert .in the use of the whip, not as 
an instrument of cruelty and punish- 
ment, but as a capital punishment to 
any refractory flies that might annoy 
the team, and it is said could kill a fly 
that alighted upon the leaders ear with- 
out touching the ear with the whip. 

When distinguished company came to 
the "big house," still standing and re- 
markably well preserved for one of its 
age, Faesch would amuse his visitors by 
getting Wiggins to show his expertness 
with the whip, by taking a chicken's 
head off with one blow from the whip. 
These stories have been handed down 
and related so many times that the nar- 
rators have believed them true, and as I 
have no means of confirming or reject- 
ing the same, am not willing to give 
vouchers for authenticity.

CDe Clark Familp. 



Among the earliest settlers iu Morris 
County was Henry Clark, who it is said 
was born in England, more probably 
Scotland, as the Clarks w T ere nearly all 
of Scotch descent, about 1695, came to 
Suffolk county, L. I., from thence to 
Elizabeth, and from thence in 1724 to 
Morristown, wheu it was said to have 
only three houses, perhaps only three 
frame houses, and then set out in the 
wilderness and located lands about a 
mile abov v e Brookside toward Mt. Free- 
dom. Cleared land and built a log house 
there. Iu the spring he returned to 

Long Island, married Anne , who 

was born in England inl693. She proba- 
bly came over on the same ship. They oc- 
cupied the log house in 1725, their neigh- 
bors were few, but they had a goodly 
supply of land, 563 acres more or less, 
and it was here that their daughter Abi- 
gail was born 1726. She afterwards mar- 
ried Nathaniel Doty, Jr., who settled on 
adjoining lauds south. He died 1792. 
Aune, the second daughter, was bom 
here 1729, and married Samuel Cozard, 



Sr., 1753, settled on lands adjoining 
Doty, probably now Brookside. N. J. 
She died about 1770. He married (2) 
Priscilla (Burt) Fairchild about 1785. 
He was born 1725, died 1811. Henry, 
Jr., the third child, born June 3, 1731,'

Mar. 17, 1762. (2) Sibel Loriug, Aug. 
18, 1763. She died 1822. He died Jan. 
10, 1797. Henry came in possession of 
the homestead property 1755, soon after 
the death of his mother. It is probable 
that the first Henry remarried soon after 
that date and removed to Shongom, N. 
J., where tradition relates he had chil- 
dren John, Daniel and Richard, who 
were early connected with the Rocka- 
way church and removed to Rockaway. 
'ohu became a member in 1770, elder 
in 1793. deacon 1809, died Nov. 24, 1813, 
buried at Rockaway. It is probable 
that the first Henry, who died 1770, and 
others of the family were buried at 
Rockaway. 
The second Henry who purchased the 



1 66 



homestead in 1775, had children, by 1st 
wife : Henry (3) born Jan. 20, 1760, mar-

ter of William, who was killed on Shon- 
gom pond) Feb. 15, 1781. She was born 
1761, died Apr. 5. 1815. He became 
minister and probably removed to Mend- 
ham, N. J. John, born 1761, died 1783. 
By 2nd wife : Nathaniel, born 1767, 
married Joanna Newton 1780, died 1836. 
She was born 1763, died 1830. Isaac,

died 1841. She was born 1771, died 
1832. Anne, born 1777, married Elisha 
Beach 1796, died 1822. He was born 1769 
and died 1822.

Clx hatbawap faniilp. 



The Hathaways were a numerous 
family in Morris County, having settled 
at Morristown and Hanover, N. J., at 
an early date, and by many intermar- 
riages with the old families were related 
and connected with very many of the 
older settlers, many doing service in the 
Revolution. This sketch will be con- 
lined to the lines resident and connected 
with the Rockaway church and buried 
in the Cemetery. 

Simeon Hathaway and wife, of Mor- 
ristown, N. J., had children baptized at 
the Presbyterian church : Elijah, Chloe 
Samuel and Annie were baptized Nov.

Prudence and their son Samuel, who 
was born Sept. 11, 1874, and died Dec. 
17, 1802, are buried at Rockaway. 
Miriam, daughter of Simeon was bap- 
tized Apr. 12, 1752. 



About half way between Rockaway 
and Morristown on the Littletou road, 
lived Jonathan Hathway. He owned 
the "Hathaway forge" between his resi- 
dence and Morris Plaius. Jonathan 
Hathaway was born 1738, died Aug. 26, 
1814, buried at Morristown. His near 
neighbors, the Garrigus, attended the 
Rockaway Church, while the Hatha- 
ways attended church at Morristown. 
He married (1) Lydia Peck Dec. 20, 
1759. She was born 1736, died Sept. 10,

den. She was a daughter of Capt. James

1772; Jonathan, who was a doctor and 
dentist, born Dec. 21, 1773 ; Lydia, born 



172 



Sept. 25, 1779. 

Dr. Jonathan married as his second 
wife Sally, widow of Moses Cooper. She 
was a Clifton. They had one son Jona- 
than, who occupied the Hathaway 
homestead until about 1870. 

The healing powers of Dr. Jonathan 
Hathaway's salves, ointments and other 
medicines became known far and wide. 
Those who had been afflicted for many 
years applied to him for relief, and re- 
turned to their homes almost miraculous- 
ly cured. We knew one of his patients, 
Daniel Holly, who lived at Stockholm. 
He had boasted that he had never known 
a sick day in his life, but in his later 
years an ulceration afflicted the sole of 
his foot, and not having the patience of 
Job to endure the pain, he applied to 
Dr. Hathaway for relief, a distance of 
about thirty miles. The doctor exam- 
ined the foot, but shook his head doubt- 
fully, it was a case beyond his skill, but 
finally told him that if he was willing, 
and thought that it would be more com- 
fortable on the top of his foot, he could 
change the position. Holly thinking 
that it would be a relief to have the af- 
fliction anywhere from where it was, 
consented to have the remedies applied. 
In a few weeks the result was accom- 
plished, but it became so much more 
painful there, that he returned and con- 
sulted Dr. Hathaway to have its loca- 
tion changed to where it was, the change 
was made, and Holly bore the affliction, 
a patient sufferer until the day of his 
death. 

If ever a doctor or a dentist, for he 



was both, delighted in the pulling of 
teeth for a small consideration it was 
Dr. Hathaway. In this line he became 
famous, the suffering humanity who be 
came nearly distracted by a troublesome 
molar, would travel miles in the dead 
hour of night for relief, but as usual, as 
when teeth are going to be extracted in 
these days, the sight of the dentist with 
turnkeys and forceps, the achings would 
suddenly cease out of nervous sympathy, 
and the patient not having the courage 
to endure the pain of extraction, would 
return home when the trouble returned, 
and the second journey was made with 
more favorable results. 

The doctor and dentist inherited a 
goodly number of dollars and a small 
farm, and was a liberal benefactor to the 
end. "When he was about to balance up 
his accounts with this world, he willed 
that his posterity should pay "his dear, 
beloved wife Sally" an annual income 
of $500 as long as she lived. So long as 
the visible means were in sight this an- 
nuity was strictly complied with, but 
his posterity died in rather reduced cir- 
cumstances as his wife Sally, went 
West to grow up with the country and 
lived to be over a hundred years old. 

The old Hathaway mansion is now 
very much dilapidated. The clearings 
made over one hundred and fifty years 
ago are battling against the supremacy 
of weeds, briars, brush and timber. The 
property after three generations of Jona- 
than Hathaway's changed owners years 
ago, and but few now know, or have 
ever heard of its original owners, who 
formed a part of this ancient history.

CDe Cpon familp. 



The family of Lyon is of great antiq- 
ty in Scotland. The ancestor of the 
family, John de Lyon, came over with 
William I. He or one of his immediate 
ancestors settled in Perthshire, in the 
district still called Glenlyon. Sir John 
Lyon, son of John de Lyon, " a young 
man of very good parts and qualities, 
and a very graceful and comely person, 
and a great favorite of the kiug (Rob- 
ert II,) was Lord High Chamberlain of 
Scotland. The Princess Jean, the king's 
daughter, being in love with the fair- 
favored young man, he received her 
hand in marriage, and with it the lauds 
of Glamis, 1372." Until that time 
Glamis was a royal residence of a line 
that dates back to Kenneth I, 850 A. D. 
This castle was the scene of Macbeth's 
crime. The murder of Malcolm II, at 
Glamis is narrated as an authentic event 
by the old chroniclers. 

Colonial records place William, of Rox- 
bury, (landed 1635, aged 14, ship Hope- 
well; as the earliest of the "old comers." 
The American Antiquity, shows this 



William Lyon as descended from Sir 
Adam Lyon, knight, first son of John 
de Lyon, the Feudal Baron, the French 
family of Leonne, originated from 
Leones, a partrician family of Rome. 

The latters's third son, Sir John Lyon, 
Baron of Fortevoit, was the ancestor of 
the Earls, of Strathmore. Gen. Nathan- 
iel Lyon (Civil War) claimed direct de- 
scent Sir Thomas Lyon, of Auldbar, 
Forfarshire, designated master of 
Glamis, brother of John, the Eighth 
Lord Glamis, one of the principals 
in the seizure of James VI, at 
the raid of Ruthern 1582, and 
after his return, he with the 
Earls of Angus and Mar, seized Sterling 
Castle. Again he fled, but in 1585 was 
restored to royal favor. 

It is further stated that Sir John Lyon 
had two sons, the first, Earl of Strath- 
more, the secoud, Earl of Kingham. 
Another John Lyon was colonel of the 
Scottish Guards in the service of Henry 
IV of France. William Lyon, son of 
the above John Lyon, having been de- 



i75 



nounced as a heretic at the time of the 
massacre of St. Bartholemew, Aug. 24, 
1572, escaped to Holland where he re- 
ceived protection and ultimately came 
with his three children to New England. 
This would indicate that William of 
Roxbury was not the first of the Lyon 
family, of Gleulyou, to seek a home in 
America. 

William, of Roxbury, was a member 
of the Artillery 1645, free man 1666, 
died 1692. John Lyon, of Salem, 1638 
lived there until 1648. John Lyne, of 
New Haven, signed covenant 1639. 
Thomas Lyon settled on Byram river 
1640. Henry Lyon was at Milford 1646, 
John Lyon was at Marblehead 1648. 
Richard Lyon was at Fairfield 1649. 
Peter Lyon was at Dorcester 1649. 

These men were doubtless clansmen 
if not near relatives, aud were among 
those who fled from the mother country 
for religious, political or civil reasons, 
traitors in their old home, but patriots 
in their wilderness refuge, aud doubt- 
less they were the founders of the Lyon 
family in the United States, a vast ag- 
gregate of people widely separated by 
time and circumstances, but many of 
them holding in common the traditiou 
of Gleulyou origiu and ancestry. 

Although descendants of Robert the 
Bruce, founder of the House of Stuart, 
the colonial Lyons were king-haters, es- 
pecially Stuart-haters. Like the master 
of Glamis, Sir Thomas Lyon, a number 
of the Lyons were naturally partakers 
of treason through fierce and fanatical 
convictions that demanded personal lib- 
erty and condemned kingcraft. These 



"Puritans" under the persecution, were 
in sympathy with the Roundhead move- 
ment and active adherents of Crom- 
well. 

Tradition says that Richard Lyon, who 
appeared at Fairfield 1649 after the de- 
capitation of Charles I, was on guard 
with his two brothers at the scaffold the 
day of the execution aud witnessed the 
regicide. Daunted by the enormity of 
this political crime the three secretly 
took ship for America and landed at 
Boston, Mass. Here they separated; 
Richard journeying to Connecticut to 
settle there. 

This Richard is the ancestor of the 
New Jersey Lyons, of the Henry Lyon, 
of Milford and Newark. He was of 
Fairfield 1649, aud his house aud home 
lot of two acres, is recorded Jan. 1653. 
He was made free man 1665. His will 
dated 1678, mentions wife Margaret, and 
children Moses, Richard, William, 
Samuel, Joseph, Hester,wife of Nathan- 
iel Perry, Bettie, Hannah and Abigail. 
Henry Lyon, the oldest son of Richard, 
was brother-in-law to Joseph Middle- 
brook and of Thomus Batemau. The 
will of William Batemau 1656, gave £5 
to grandchild Joseph Middlebrook, one- 
half of his estate to son Thomas and one- 
half to son-in-law Henry Lyon.

ried Mary died before 1696.

Sarah baptized Apr. 5, 1696 ; Daniel, 
Oct, 3, 1697; Nathan, Feb. 13, 1703;

The general outlook at this time, New 
Jersey under the charter granted to 
Berkeley aud Carteret, promised greater 
freedom in civil and religious affairs 
than could be hoped for with the exist- 
ing conditions of Connecticut, and they 
severed home ties for still another pio- 
neer beginning, known only by hear- 
say. 

Staunch they were in all things, stern- 
ly zealous in church matters, aud stern- 
ly opposed to monarchial interference. 
The spirit of independence that animat- 
ed the Puritan fathers was transmitted 
to their descendants, an aversion to the 
domination of kings that reached a cli- 
max in the Essex Riots 1745, which was 
the first overt act of resistance to the 
authority of Great Britain, making the 
men of New Jersey Plantations the 
earliest aggressors in the cause of civil 
liberty.

CIk Percp familp. 



Some years ago I became interested in 
my western cousins, and a curiosity as 
to what had become of the party whose 
name had been given me from some 
caase best known to my parents. The 
hunting up of ones ancestry is somtimes 
pursued under great difficulties. These 
parties had removed from the border 
lands of Morris County in 1835, to the 
wilderness in Ohio, the western fever at 
that date was strangely epidemic. In 
those pioneer days but few letters were 
ever exchanged, a new life had com- 
menced in earnest with them and the 
old lines were soon forgotten. After 
sixty years all traces of the family were 
lost. By chance I learned the address 
of one of the grand children, and from 
this party I was referred to others. The 
result is before you. 

The Percy family in England date 
back to the year 1100. Two brothers, 
William and Joseph, came over when 
quite young men. William settled at 
Paterson. N. J., learned the printers 
trade and went to Albany, N. Y., when 



all traces were lost. Joseph set- 
tled near the border laud of Morris 
County. He was born in England July 
7, 1801, married Abigail Crane, daughter 
of John and Sophia (Myers) Crane, Dec. 
1, 1825, removed to Franklin county, 
Ohio, in 1835, and to Preemption, Mer- 
cer county, 111., in 1855, married Mary 
(Goff) Adams Oct. 1, 1845. Abigail 
Crane was born July 5, 1804, died Sept. 
22, 1843, buried at Walnut Hill, about 
eight miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio. 
He died Dec. 26, 1856, buried three miles 
west of Preemption, 111 Mary Goff 
was born July 14, 1814. 

Children : George W., born Oct 29, 
1826, married Kate Hawley ; (2) Miss 
Schell, removed to Peoria county, 111., 
1854, died Nov. 12, 1895, buried at Glass- 
ford, 111., had four children. William, 
born Nov. 16, 1827, never married, died 
Aug. 3, 1843, buried at Walnut Hill, 
Ohio. John, born Mar. 27, 1829, never 
married, died Feb. 14, 1849, buried at

at "The Dalles," Oregon. Israel, born 
Oct. 12, 1837, died Nov. 7, 1860, buried 
at Preemption, 111. Jeremiah C, born 
Dec. 15, 1839, married Jennie O. Lowe, 



of Mercer county, 111., 1867, living near 
Parnell City, Mo., served four years in 
Co. E, 7th Iowa Inf., was wounded at 
Resaca, Ga., in "Sherman's march to 
the sea." Samuel, born Aug. 19, 1841, 

married Rohr, living at

20, 1843, married, lived in Franklin 
county, O., died Sept. 20, 1877. Martha

Clx Ullcn Familp. 



The following data given me many- 
years ago by the late James Madison 
Allen at Newark, who had made many 
researches of the Allen family at Rocka- 
way hold good to-day. I have added 
and corrected a few of the data that 
have come under my own researches, 
and from the collector of the Ailing- 
Allen families of Connecticut and from 
the Aliens at Chicago, 111., and others. 
George P. Allen writes me from New 
Berlin, Fla., that he has failed to make 
any connections with the Roger Ailing 
family, of New Haven, Ct., whose de- 
scendant, Samuel, came to Newark, N. 
J., and some of his descendants to Mor- 
ris county. The name has many spell- 
ings, and the families quite numerous 
in Central New Jersey. Captain Job 
always wrote Allen, while some one en- 
graved on his tombstone the name Allin. 

Tradition says that Samuel Allen and 
sons, Ebenezer and Job, came from the 
north of Scotland, where they had been 
imprisoned for their religious opinions, 
and first landed at Amboy, N. J. Job 



came from thence, while still a young 
man, to Rockaway previous to 1730, and 
built a forge there at that date, known 
after as the "Job Allen Iron Works." 
They were located about two hundred 
yards above the present dam. The 
Sanitarium farm at Denville, compris- 
ing two or three hundred acres was 
owned by him at this time. His wife's 
name, according to the old deeds and 
papers, was Christiana, aud they were 
probably not married earlier than 1735 
or 6, as the first child Anna was born 
1737. No mention was ever made 
among the old papers at Rockaway of 
his father Samuel or his brother Ebene- 
zer, and it may have been possible that 
Christiana was his second wife. He 
was at this early date the founder and 
builder of the first iron industry at 
Rockaway, not very large in that day 
compared with the present, and may be 
said to have been the founder and build- 
er of the first church at Rockaway, as 
some of tne frame work was made as 
early as 175&. He was an early member 



194 



of the Morristown Presbyterian church 
where some of his children were bap- 
tized, while the church at Rockaway 
was building. He was carpenter, mil- 
ler and forgeman ; constructed some of 
the first roads and bridges, and many of 
the first dwelliugs, when every nail 
used was hand-made.

Che Beaman Familp. 



The name originally spelled Beman, 
now modernized to Beaman and Bee- 
man. Gamaliel Beman settled at Dor- 
chester, Mass., in 1636, his descendants 
removed to Connecticut and later to 
Vermont. One Simon Beman, of Spring- 
field, Mass., married Alice Young Oct. 
15, 1654, and had sons, Josiah, (1) born 
Feb. 4, 1662 ; David, and perhaps others. 
There was a distribution of the estate of 
David, brother of Josiah, made in 1740, 
at Springfield, in which the property 
was divided among the representatives 
of his brother Josiah, then deceased, to 
John and Josiah, (2) Beaman, and three 
sisters. There was also a grant of land 
to Josiah Beaman, Jr., in Brookfield, 
Mass., of 60 acres in 1717. 

Josiah (1) married Martha , 

who died Nov. 1691. (2) Lydia 
Warner Apr. 29, 1696, and had children : 
Simon, born Feb. 6. 1697 ; John, born 
July 19, 1699, moved to* Brookfield, 
Mass., and Josiah (2) and three daugh- 
ters. 

After this date (1717) the name of 



Josiah Beaman (2) is lost in Mnssachu- 
setts and is supposed to have gone West 
at a very early age and settled at or 
near Dover, N. J. and became interest- 
ed in the iron business located there in 
1720 by John Jackson and the Hurds. 
There is tradition that he came from 
Vermont, but as Vermont was not set- 
tled at this early date, it is not probable. 
This Josiah (2) had sons : David, per- 
haps the oldest; Josiah, a daughter 
Abigail, who married Joseph Edminster 
Feb. 19, 1747. She as his widow died 
Nov. 27, 1777, aged 50. Morristown 
Church Records show children : Han- 
nah, baptized May 29, 1748 ; David, bap- 
tized Apr. 29, 1751 ; Ledia, baptized 
July 21, 1754, and Joseph, baptized Oct. 
16, 1757. 

David Beman was a member of the 
Presbyterian church at Morristown, N. 
J., before the building of the church at 
Rockaway. and was one of the founders 
and builders, and original members of 
the church at Rockaway. He owned a 
forge, sawmill and gristmill at Rocka- 



i 9 9 



way, and was builder of some of the 
first forges in this section, was forge- 
man, miller and carpenter. In the 
church he was sexton, elder, deacon 
and chorister. 

David Beman, married (1) Mary 
Stansborrough, daughter of Samuel. She 
died 1780. (2) Anna (Jackson) Ayres, 
daughter of Gen. Joseph Jackson, and 
widow of Robert Ayres. She was born 
Aug. 9, 1746, died Mar. 21, 1816, buried 
by the side of her first husband. David 
Beman died 1802, buried at Rockaway, 
but no monument, grave unknown. 

Children of David and Mary : Josiah, 
baptized Oct. 3, 1756 ; Samuel, baptized 
June 10, 1759 ; Lydia, married Thomas 
Conger, who was a blacksmith at Rock- 
away, and had children : Harriet, John, 
William, Phebe, Hannah and perhaps 
others. Joauna, baptized as adalt Apr. 
3, 1812, never married ; Sarah, born 
July 13, 1765, married George Stickle, 
died June 14, 1836, buried at Rockaway. 

Ruhama, married (1) Green, 

of Denville. (2) Strong, 

who was lost at sea on a voyage to Eng- 



land about 1800. Children : Samuel, 

William, Susan, married Mc- 

Elroy, of Denville, and Mary, who mar- 
ried (1) Shoor. (2) Beaman 

Stickle as his second wife died at 
Aytelan, Wis., 1894. 

Josiah Beaman, brother of David, was 
born 1732, married Hnldah Winds, a 
sister of General William Winds, Sept. 
11, 1760, died June 3, 1803. His wife 
was born 1729, died Aug. 15, 1792. Both 
buried at Rockaway. Children : Ahi- 
jah, baptized June 27, 1762. Mention 
is made iu General Winds' will, dated 
the day before his death Oct. 11, 1789, 
of Abigail, Huldah and Susanna Bee- 
man, daughters of Josiah Beeman. I 
give fifteen pounds each. It is probable 
that these were all the children living 
at that date of Josiah Beaman. The 
names Josiah and David are prominent 
in the family. The name is now not 
kn^wn, only through inter- marriage. 
Should any one know more of this fami- 
ly, once so prominent in the early enter- 
prises, in church and Revolutionary 
service, I should be pleased to know so 
as to further preserve their records. 



Clx Crane Familp. 



"To see ourselves as others see us" I 
have invited my correspondents to write 
what they kuew of the Crane family. 
In the arrangement i have managed to 
get in a few words "edgeways," and 
like tombstone records, have recorded 
only the good deeds, and left out some 
of the bad. The name is spelled in 
many ways, so that nearly every one 
can have a choice, and about one half of 
the members usually prefer a change of 
name altogether. Some one, not relat- 
ed to the family has said that "the 
Cranes are noted for their frugality, 
honesty and piety," that means present 
company always excepted. All things 
change and we change with them. 

The Cranes were originally from 
Cneshire county, England. The precise 
date will never be known as they may 
have worked out their road tax on the 
macadam road built there by the 
Romans before the third century. 
Under the similitude of a dream it may 
be taken for granted that they all dwelt 
in oastles, of which there are many, 



some have been torn down and a new 
castle built in their place. 

Tradition says they were all great 
warriors and that each community was 
well blessed with generals, colonels ma- 
jors and captains, and that each were 
tagged with a coat of arms. These 
armorial bearings may have originated 
by the way that each one made "his 
mark" with a pointed stick and poke- 
berry juice, it is not advisable to give 
any theory upon this subject. One of 
our enterprising relatives has traced the 
family back from General Josiah Crane 
for thirteen generations, without reach- 
ing the end or touching bottom. I will 
commence where he left off and be con- 
tent with eleven generations. 

General Josiah Crane was in the ser- 
vice of King James and for his services 
was rewarded with a coat of arms and a 
goodly estate. It is said that some of 
his descendants went to the north of 
Ireland, some to Germany and later 
Jasper, probably Stephen and Phebe, to 
America. 



201 



Authorities differ as to the date or lo- 
cation. Jasper may have settled at 
Shawniit, uow Boston, Mass., as early 
as 1630, aud taken a part iu the first 
settlement of New Haveu, Conn., by 
overlaud route April 9, 1638. He may 
have returned to Bostou aud returned 
to Euglaud, aud sailed direct from Lou- 
dou with his family in ship Arbella, 
which left Loudou Apr. .26. 1639, and 
was the first ship to enter the harbor at 
New Haven. 

We learn of Jasper iu Bostou Juue 21, 
1640, as agent for Mr. Roe. of Lou- 
don, regarding house lot aud three acres 
of land, lyiug iu Bostou, wherein Will- 
iam Herricke uow dwelleth. This theo- 
ry would prove that he may have been 
iu Bostou as au agent for a Loudon 
Company previous to this date. As sur- 
veyor and laud ageut it is quite proba- 
ble that he dealt largely in real estate 
and buildiug lots. He sigued the first 
agreement at a geueral meeting at Mr. 
Newman's baru in New Haven, June 4, 
1639, aud took the oath of fidelity with 
Caufield, Pennington, Eaton and others. 
His house lot u umber 49, drawu Feb. 6, 
1607, was located on what is uow Elm 
street, coruer of Orange street, occupied 
by the church of St. Thomas. Delivered 
had number 40, and Johu number 62. 
At the orgauizatiou of government of 
the colouy, he was "freed from watch- 
ing and trayuiug iu his own turn, be- 
cause of his weakness, but to fiud some 
one for his turn." He was a member of 
the General Court with Robert Treat, 
aud magistrate many years iu the colo- 
ny. Was interested in a bog ore fur 



uace at East Haveu iu 1651. removed to 
Brauford, seveu miles east of New 
Haveu, in 1652, was deputy magistrate 
and magistrate in 1658 at Brauford. Iu 
1664 was commissioner to administer 
oath of allegiance to all the freemen of 
New Haven after the uuiou with the 
Connecticut colouy. Iu 1665 he was ap- 
pointed one of the committee of safety 
to protect the colouy against DeRuyter, 
the Dutch admiral, who was cruisiug in 
the souud threateuiug the colouy. 
Amoug other honors he had fifth seat in 
the meeting house. Notwithstanding 
the disability of the weakness that pre- 
vented Jasper Crane from "watching aud 
trayuiug" in his owu person he seems 
to have lived in high authority in the 
midst of affairs in stirring times. A 
power in the colonial wilderness, it was 
as a Moses that he led the twenty- three 
families of Brauford to the cauaan of 
the Passaic lauds, captain over these ex- 
iles even as Robert Treat was captain 
over the forty-one families of Milford. 

The Passaic settlement first bore the 
name of Milford, but was chauged to 
Newark at the suggestion of the be- 
loved pastor of the church at Branford. 
The home lot that fell to Jasper Crane 
at Newark was directly north of the 
Essex county court house, aud is now 
the site of St. Paul's Episcopal church. 
The meeting honse was nearby, and 
surrouuded by a palisade, and in the 
cupola a guard of settlers kept watch 
for hostile Indiaus, while the worship 
was in progress. 

The date of the birth of Jasper Crane 
is quite uncertain, authorities give 



202 



dates 1590, 1605, 1610. It is quite proba- 
ble that he was twice married, and that 
Stephen, born about 1630 was of the 
first marriage. His will dated at New- 
ark 1678, names wife Alice, who 
probably died before his death in 1682, 
was proved 1681. One authority 
gives Stephen, who settled at Elizabeth, 
as born 1640. Some conjecture that this 
Stephen was a brother of Jasper and 
that Phebe, who married Oanfield, was 
a sister. Traditionally we can have 
Stephen as a brother and as a sou ; per- 
haps there were two Stephens. 

We giv? the tradition of Israel Crane 
a great-great grandson of Stephen, of 
Elizabeth Town. "About 1625 A. D. 
thirty years before Elizabeth Town. N. 
J., was settled, during the persecutions 
of the Puritans in England under Queen 
Elizabeth, the ancestor of the Crane 
family came to Ameiica. His name 
was Stephen. The ship in which he 
came is supposed to have sailed from 
the west o" England, favored by em- 
barkation by a fog, which allowed es- 
cape in case of pursuit. When the fog 
passed away the ship wan out of sight of 
land. It is said to have sunk at Amboy. 
N. J., but all on board were saved. 
Stephen Crane and his fellow voyagers 
settled Elizabeth Town, named for 
Queen Elizabeth, who confirmed the 
purchase of lands from the Indians." 

From what I have before stated it is 
hard to accuse auy of the Crane family 
with drawing the long bow, it may 
have been attributed to his mother's rela- 
tion. 1625 and 30 make 1655, ten years 
before Elizabeth Town was settled. Sail- 



ing from the west of England would 
give a Cheshire county location. If the 
ship sunk at Amboy in 1625, the name 
was not known at that time. If they 
then settled at Elizabeth Town at that 
time, the settlement must have been 
abandoned forty years. We presume 
this Stephen to have been at least twen - 
ty-five years of age when he left Eug- 
laud. Nathaniel, his reputed sou, was 
born 1680, which is not probable. This 
Stephen is not mentioned in the New 
England settlements, but there were 
many others there. If he died after 
1710 he would have been over 110 years 
of age. 

The Cranes are not noted for longevi- 
ty and seldom reach the 80th year 
They are generally "grown up" at four- 
teen and fifteen, sow a small patch of 
wild oats, marry at 16, 18 and 20 and 
settle down to quiet life and piety. It 
is possible to crowd four and five genera- 
tions in a century. They become pre- 
maturely old at 40 and 50, and it is re- 
corded of some families who have mar- 
ried, raised large families, and died at 
25 aud 30. In the early settlements 
early marriages were encouraged, and 
the hardships aud privations encount- 
ered, made them old men and women at 
40 and 50. 

This Stephen wlio settled at Elizabeth 
Town in 1665, tradition says married a 
Danish or Welch woman with red hair, 
and blue eyes, a blonde. These descend- 
ants of Stephen are known to belong to 
that particular Crane family, while the 
Newark settlers are not above the ordi- 
nary statue, have very dark hair, dark 



2o3 



hazel eyes and decidedly brunette. The 
hair turning gray in early life, and al- 
most white at middle age. So we shall 
claim the Elizabeth Town settler as the 
sou of Jasper. The children owned ad- 
joining lands between Elizabeth Town 
and Newark. 

Children of Jasper Crane: Stephen, 
born in England about 1630, married a 
Danish woman with red hair, settled at 
El zabeth Town 1665, died there after 
1710. John, born in England about 
1635, married (1) Elizabeth Poote, sister 
of Nathaniel, of Wethersneld, Conn. 

(2) Hannah , died at Newark 

1694. Hannah, born at New Haven 
about 1639, was the second wife of 
Thomas Huntington, and as a widow 
after 1685 became the second wife of 
Johu Ward. Sr., of Branford, probably

I have thus far given data of Jasper 
Crane, his children and grandchildren, 
as many ,of them are not known, as 
arranged here. In forming a new line 
through Edmond, the son of John, the 
son of John, the sou Jasper, it will be 
necessary to trace entirely new lines, 
and not before written. A part of these 
were given me by Mr. Job Baldwin, of 
Whippauy, an eccentric character, who 
frequently visited my father many years 
ago. He was born Dec. 23, 1782, died 
at Whippany Dec. 9, 1872, was well ac- 
quainted with the family history of the 
Cranes aud Baldwins, long before Con- 
ger's notes of Newark families were 
written. 

Edmond or Edmund, (Edmannd on 
tombstouej the son of John, who died

Lauds in those days were settled a 
long time before they were "taken up" 
by owners. Two or three houses were 
built upon the Crane premises before it 
was surveyed and deeded to John Craue, 
Jr. The deed dated Apr. 20, 1802, begin- 
ning at a red oak tree, distant two chaiu 
and forty links, from a rock on a course 
South, seventy-two degrees West from 
John Crane's house. The tract con- 
tained 106 acres, and had been "settled" 
and improvements made by this party 
for over twenty years and by others per- 
haps fifty years previous. 

John Crane, Jr., was born before 1770, 
the precise date is not known, at Whip-

daughter of Jacob and wife Abby, who 
settled at Cauisteer during the Revolu- 
tion. She was boru 1771, died Jan. 29, 
1840, buried at Cauisteer. John Crane 
was chosen as a class leader by the 
Methodist society, being a man of great 
piety. He went from nome in the early 
morning of July 29, 1820, in search of 
his cows and never returned. Research 
was made for the missing man, but 
never found. 

Jacob Myres and wife Abby were of 
German descent. Children : Sophia,

buried at the M. E. Church yard at 
Stockholm. 

The Cranes and Cards are so united 
by marriage in this family that it is 
quite necessary to brius r up another line 
of Revolutionary ancestors, to keep up 
the fighting record of the writer. Peter 
or John Card (authorities differ as to 



the name) came with Col. John Seward 
to Sussex county in 1751 from near 
Chester in Morris county, and it is 
probable that they came with the Se- 
ward family from Long Island, as they 
were united, and five generations of the 
Card family have lived on the Seward 
estate and now own a part of the original 
tract. 

This Peter Card did service in the 
Revolution, and many are the anecdotes 
handed down. He had three children 
now known, and there may have been 
others. Peter, his son, was born Nov. 
10, 1763, was boy of all work at the 
Seward homestead and in service on 
special occasions. He married, Nov. 12. 
1792, Phebe Angle or Angel as was then 
written, a daughter of iohu Angle, who 
was killed in the Revolution. He died 
in the old Seward homestead Feb. 14, 
1818. John Angle married Martha Bur- 
well, his father, John, married Mary 
Burwell. they were among the early set- 
tlers at Newark. She died 1773 aged 101 
years, aud when a girl lived in one of 
the first three blockhouses built at New- 
ark for the protection of the settlers 
against the Indians, aud it is related 
that her father was the first to introduce 
the English bull dogs in the settlement. 

John Angle aud Martha Burwell had 
children: Betsey, Samuel, Abraham. 
Edward, John, Hannah Sarah and 
Phebe, who was boru Jan. 10, 1776, mar- 
ried Peter Card, died May 24, 1854.

Cbe Cooper Familp. 



Some years ago a brief sketch of the 
Cooper family was written, which af- 
terward appeared in pamphlet form in 
1894. Considerable new material has 
been found, and many corrections have 
been made. 

They came originally from Holland, 
and settled at Haverstraw, N. Y. John, 
Peter, James and Ichabod, and perhaps 
others were of this family. 

John Cooper came to Deuville, N. J., 
where he married Lydia Beach, a daugh- 
ter of Stephen. She married (2) 
Eliakim Anderson, of Deuville. Eliakim 
married (1) Rachel Hadeu, daughter of 
William, who built in 1767, the house 
known as the "Hopler house" in Frank- 
lin, N. J. Rachel married (1) David 
Moore as second wife and had children : 
Hannah, who married William Cooper; 
Stephen, who married Rhoda Dickerson, 
and Nancy, who married Nathaniel 
Dickerson, sou of Daniel. Of these 
John Cooper, Stephen Beach, William 
Haden, David Moore, Stephen Moore, 
Nathaniel and Daniel Dickerson served 



in Revolution.

known, as he neared the century mark, 
possessed a remarkable memory for the 
records aud the incidents relating to the 
old families. It is from notes taken dur- 
ing his later years, that I am enabled to

Clx Dickerson Familp. 



History of Morris County, page 356, 
has "Daniel Dickersou, the grandfather 
of Stephen Dickerson, of Denville, N. 
J., was a Revolutionary soldier. He 
lived on the Stephen Dickerson farm, 
now owned by the Denville Camp Meet- 
ing Association, and died in 1830, aged 
85 or 86. He was also a soldier in the 
French War. Besides operating his 
farm, he was a bloomer for John Jacob 
Faesch at Old Boontou." 

Morristown Presbyterian Church Rec- 
oils, page 60. have Daniel Dickersou 
died Mar. 23, 1826, aged 86." There are 
some of the family that hold to the tra- 
dition that this Daniel was a brother of 
Peter, who was born at South hold, L. 
I., 1724, died May 10, 1780, whose mouu- 
meut at Morristown, N. J., has that he 
"removed to Morris County, New Jer- 
sey, with his three brothers : Thomas, 
Joshua and Daniel, and one sister, Eliza- 
beth, about the year 1745 " These sous 
of Thomas, the sou of Philomon, who 
came from England to Southhold in 



1643, have been traced and no connec- 
tion is fouud with the Daniel, of Den- 
ville. 

In the "Early Germans of New 'er- 
sey," by Rev. T. F. Chambers, an error 
was written in connection the genealo- 
gies of this Dickersou family. He says, 
under date of Oct. 30, 1900, "That in my 
book, The 'Early Germans of New Jer- 
sey', the information concerning Dauiel 
whose will, dated, Hanover, 13 Jan., 
1826. was probated Apr. 21, is not cor- 
rect, as he is uot the son of Daniel, 
whose will, dated Roxbury, 30 April, 
1778, was probated Sept, 9, 1796. but of 
some parentage not as yet discovered." 

The will of Daniel, of Roxbury, N. J., 
mentions sous: Abraham, Daniel, Na- 
thaniel, and daughters : Abigail, Rebec- 
ca and Elizabeth. Abraham gets ninety 
acres, Dauiel gets seventy acres, Na- 
thaniel gets 110 acres, and the personal 
property was divided among the three 
daughters. 

The will of Daniel Dickerson dated 



2l8 



Jan. 13, 1826, mentions sous : Nathaniel, 
David and Thomas (deceased), daugh- 
ters : Phebe, wife of Ephriam Howard ; 
Mary, wife of William Roff ; also chil- 
dren of Rhoda, who was the wife of 
Stephen Moore (deceased) ; also grand- 
children, children of Thomas (deceased), 
that is : Dauiel, William, John, Mahlon, 
Silas, Stephen, Ohillion, Jane and 
Josiah. Also mentions 105 acres that ne 
bought of Nicholas Commesaw. 

At the present writiug, from the re- 
searches that have been made, in rela- 
tion to the parentage of this Daniel 
Dickerson, of Denville, I will adopt the 
story as related by the late David 
Cooper, whose acquaiutauce with the 
family dated back beyoud the death of 
Daniel, and whose memory of old time 
traditions were remakable at his ad- 
vanced age. 

The father of Dauiel Dickerson, of 
Denville, name uukuowu, was a sea 
captaiu, lived at Elizabethport, N. J., 
owned a small trading vessel and was 
lost at sea. He had one son, Daniel, and 
oue daughter, name unknown. He 
owned lauds at Basking Ridge, N. J., 
which came in possession of his daugh- 
ter, who married, uame unknown, aud 
at Speedwell, near Morristown, N. J., 
which came in possession of his son 
Dauiel. His wife remarried, name uu- 
kuowu, aud retaiued the home at Eliza- 
bethport. 

Tradition has it that Dauiel traded his 
lauds at Speedwell for 105 acres with 
Nicholas Commesaw, now where Camp 
Tabor, N. J., is, built a house, now torn 
dowu, near the spriug, a large stone in 



the chimney of the house was marked 
D. D. 1760. Morristown records have 
it that this Nicholas Commesaw died of 
old age Nov. 12, 1806, aged 9u. There 
is tradition that each claimed they were 
cheated iu the trade of these lands, but 
that has nothing to do with our history. 
Daniel added much lauds to his home 
farm, and at one time owned mauy hun- 
dred acres of adjoining lands. 

Daniel Dickersou was boru about or 
before 1740, probably at Elizabethport, 
married at an early age Phebe Genung. 
No records of marriage or connection of 
church at Morristown. He was assessed 
for the salary of Rev. Mr. Evsritt, of 
Rockaway church, Sept. 2, 1779, aud 
again iu 1781. His wife died May 1821, 
(King's Record). He died Mar. 13, 
1826. Both probably buried at Rocka- 
way, but uo monumental record. 

Children of Daniel and Phebe Genung) 
Dickersou : there is a record of baptism, 
May 1, 1757, of Phebe, Dan. Dickiu's 
wife of child Mary, which may have 
been a contractiou of Dickersou, as old 
records were uot particular in the spell- 
ing of names. There are no other rec- 
ords of child Mary ; perhaps she died 
youug. Nathaniel must have beeu 
born in 1758, as he served in the Revo- 
lution. He married Nancy Moore, 
daughter of David Moore aud Rachel 
Haden. David Moore was a Revolu- 
tionary soldier and lived about one-half 
mile northeast of the residence of J. P. 
Crayon, at Fraukliu, N. J., near a 
spring. He married (1) Bathia Cutler, 
daughter of Uriah, Mar. 30, 1769, and 
had children : Rachel, born Apr. 29, 



219 



1771 ; Phebe, born Aug. 10, 1 772 ; mar- 
ried (2) Rachel Haden, daughter of 
William, Sept. 4, 1777. William Haden 
built the present Hoppler house at 
Franklin, iu 1767. David Moore had 
children: Hannah, born 1778, married 
William Cooper ; Stephen married 
Bhoda, daughter of Daniel Dickersou, 
and Nancy, who married Nathaniel 
Dickersou. Nathaniel Dickersou, after 
the Revolution, built and lived in a 
house about 150 yards north of J. P. 
Crayon's at Franklin, removed to Ver- 
mont about 1830. David, no records of 
birth, marriage or death. There is a 
record by Dr. King of marriage, David 

Dickersou and Bailey Feb. 

11, 1811. May or may not have been a 
second marriage of this David, as David 
is mentioned in will as living in 1826.

Josiah, Mar. 3, 1791, died Nov. 1827. 
No children. Place of burial unknown.

Rockaway. John Daniel, born July 23, 
1836, married Sarah B. Conn, of New- 
ark. He sold the Clark homestead at 
Denville to Peter Vesper, died Mar. 14, 
1870, buried at Rockaway. Hannah 
Moore, bom May 3, 1840, married Thom- 
as Barrett McGraf May 19, 1869, died 
Nov. 15, 1871 ; Hattie R., born Mar. 23, 
1845, married Charles S. Dickerson, of 
Denville, Apr. 22, 1869. 

Since the above has been placed in 
type, two very important papers have 
been received in addition to the Dicker- 
son family. One from Adjutant Gener- 
al Oliphant, of Trenton, N. J., giving 
the military record of Daniel Dickerson, 
and one from Frederick A. Caufield, of 
Dover, N. J., who has very recently in 
his researches of the Dickerson family, 
discovered the probable ancestor of 
Daniel, of Denville, in the line of Thom- 
as, one of the* four brothers who came 
from Southold L. I., and settled in Mor- 
ris county. 

It is certified, that the records of 
this office show that Daniel Dickerson 



served as a private in the Eastern 
Battalion, Morris County, New Jersey 
Militia ; sergeant, Captain Isaac Hasley's 
Company, same Battalion ; ensign, Cap- 
tain Josiah Hall's Company, same Bat- 
talion ; sergeant, Captain Josiah Hall's 
Company, same Battalion, 1781, during 
the Revolutionary War. 

Adj. Gen. Oliphant. 

The Denville branch of the Dicker- 
son family descended from Daniel Dick- 
erson, who was born in 1740 and died 
1826, aged 86 years. If the claims of 
of kinship that seem to have existed be- 
tween the Denville family and the Berk- 
shire Valley family, are satisfied, this 
Daniel, of Denville, must have been a 
son of one of the four brothers : Daniel, 
Thomas, Joshua and Peter, that came 
from Southold, L. I., to Morris county, 
N. J., about the year 1745. 

I have been able to get the names of 
the children of all these brothers except- 
ing those of Thomas. Thomas married 
Sarah Wager uue7, 1737, in Southold. 
His oldest son was named Thomas, an- 
other sou was Charles who was born 
1745. We do not know the names of 
his other children, but I feel satisfied 
that Daniel, of Denville, was another 
sou and John, of Mendham, N. J., was 
probably another. 

On December 1, 1770, Thomas Dicker- 
son acquired an interest in some laud 
near Succasuuna. On the 20th of March 
1773, Thomas Dickerson (son and heir- 
in-law of Thomas Dickerson, deceased.) 
conveyed his interest in a part of this 
laud to Benjamin Hart. This fixes the 
date of death of Thomas about 1772. 
This Thomas was elected overseer of 
roads in Roxbury township in 1752. 

I can see no good reason for not as- 
signing the Denville family to the line of 
Thomas. There is no other place for 
them, that will satisfy the conditions 
that are known to have existed. Daniel, 
of Denville, has been confounded with 
Daniel, of Roxbury township, but as 
each has his own, and distinct line of 



225 



descendants, there is no need of any 
confusion. 

Fred A. Canfield. 
This will place the Puriton Philomon 
Dickerson, who came from England to 
the Massachusetts colony 1638, at South- 



old 1643 He had two sons : Thomas 
and Peter. Thomas had four sons, who 
came to Morris county as above stated. 
This spoils a bit of romance, but we are 
glad to have facts. 



Cbe Ficbter Familp. 



The story of the Fichter family may 
not be of as much interest in the great 
outside world as in the former iron 
manufacturing and mining towns and 
villages in the immediate vicinity of 
Rockaway. Rut few of the name are 
beyond th3 limits of Morris county. 

Frederick Fichter was born in the small 
iron manufacturing town of Elscoe, 
Germany, near the border line of 
France. His father was Nicholas and 
his mother Rosina. It was here he 
learned his trade and married at an 
early age. He and his wife Mary Ann 
soon after emigrated to America and 
lauded in New York City about 1773. 
Also a sister, who married Raltus Good 
and removed to Pennsylvania. 

Jobu Jacob Faesch, who was in search 
of skilled iron workers for the furnace at 
Mt. Hope, N. J., went to New York and 
found, as it proved afterward, the very 
man he wanted in Fichter. They came 
with Faesch to Mt. Hope and Fichter 
was placed in charge of the furnace. 



Here they lived happily for a time, until 
his wife one day went to the spring to 
get a pail of water and found a large 
snake nearby, which so entirely upset 
her nervous system that she declared 
she would no longer live in the land of 
snakes, hence they removed to Rocka- 
way. while Fichter continued to work 
at Mt. Hope. The severe nervous shock 
proved too much for her delicate nerves, 
she was taken soon after from the effects 
with fever, died and was buried at 
Rockaway. This event so disheartened 
Fichter that he sold out his household 
belougiugs, and resolved to go back to 
Germany. Faesch induced him by an 
advance in his wages to stay three 
months until he could find some one to 
take his place at the furnace. He con- 
sented, at the end of the three months 
another advance in wages induced him 
to stay for another three months. In 
the meantime he attended a party with 
other Germans at Bloomingdale, N J. 
It was here that he first saw Mary 



227 



Witty, but she could not or would not 
talk German to an entire stranger. The 
trip was made on horseback, the custom 
of that day. The charms of Mary 
Witty had induced him to make another 
trip soon after, when he chanced to meet 
Mary attending a toll gate, her father 
was gate keeper, and found that she 
could talk German to the satisfaction 
that another trip to the toll gate was 
soon made and she consented to become 
his wife, so that within a year from the 
death of his first wife arrangements 
were made and they were married in 
the parlor of the Faesch mansion at Mt. 
Hope, where a large number of the first 
families were invited. This event took 
place in 1788, as near as the records can 
be accountable. After a few months 
she complained fehat she had nothing to 
do and begged that a flax wheel and 
fifty pounds of flax should be purchased, 
after which in due time, Ellenor El- 
lenor was presented to them and she did 
not have to make another complaint of 
nothing to do. On the first day of June 
1792, John came to the household at Mt. 
Hope, when soon after they removed to 
Old Boouton, N. J., in the iron interest 
of Faesch, where Catharine Sophia 
made her appearance. They continued 
to live in Old Boouton when Gabriel 
came to that town Nov. 25, 1796. Then 
followed William in 1799, next Eliza- 
beth Margaret, Mary Ann, named for 
his first wife June 22, 1804 ; Frederick, 
named for himself ; then Adelia, when 
they removed to Berkshire Valley, N. 
J., here came Eliza and Jacob Losey. 
They lived on the Lot Berry farm be- 



tween Berkshire Valley and Lower 
Longwood, N. J. They removed to 
Upper Longwood where Frederick 
Fichter died about 1850 aged about 90 
years, he was buried by the side of his 
first wife Mary Ann at Rockaway. As 
no monument marks the spot the pre- 
cise location h-as been forgotten. His 
wife went to live with her son William 
at Russia, near Milton, N. J., where he 
owned a forge and saw mill, she died 
there Nov. 5, 1857, aged 85 years, and 
was buried at Oak Ridge (N. J.) Ceme- 
tery. Children : Ellen, married Garrett

Ok Gordon Familp. 



A few preliminaries are necessary be- 
fore writing upon the Gordon family. 
The name is spelled in many ways in 
the old records. From the old family 
Bible of David Gordon, better known as 
the "old sexton" of Rockaway, the fol- 
lowing entry is made — "Capt. Wm. Gor- 
don, Decest, Apr. 15th, 1777. In the 
forty- first year of nis age." Also, 
"William Gordon, son Joshua and 
Martha Gordon." The remaining rec- 
ord obliterated. Other records have 
"Oct. 20, 1777. Letters of administra- 
tion on estate of Joshua Gordon, de- 
ceased, intestate, granted to Tnomas 
Kinney." Also, "9 February 1778, Let- 
ters of admn. on estate of Cape. Wm. 
Gordon, deceased, intestate, granted to 
Thomas Kinney." Also, "21 December 
1786, Letters of Adinn. on estate of 
Jeremiah Gordon, of Morris Oo. de- 
ceased, intestate, granted to Timothy 
Canfield." 

The wife of William Gordon was De- 
borah (Kiuney) Oaufield. She was 



widow of David Canfield, who died 
1756, and a probable sister of Thorn a 
Kinney above. David Canfield had 
children : Samuel, Timothy, Phebe, 
Henry, David and Experience. 

Joshua Gordon was quartermaster in 
the Revolution, and had : William, per- 
haps John, who lived in the parish of 
Rockaway, and was assessed in 1792 for 
eighty-two acres of land for the salary 
of Rev. J. J. Carle, and died May 1, 
1813, and buried at Rockaway, and 
Charles, born 1775, died 1815, married 
two sisters, Hannah and Elizabeth Per- 
kins, and Jeremiah. 

A certified copy from the records at 
Trenton have, "It is certified, that the 
records of this office show that Joshua 
Gordon was in commission as quarter- 
master of Colonel Ephriam Martin's 
Battalion ; Brigadier General Nathaniel 
Heard's Brigade ; New Jersey State 
Troops, July 6, 1776, during theRevolu- 
louary War." 

Also, "It is certified, that the records 



233 



of this office, show that, William Gor- 
don, was in commission as second lien- 
tenant of Captain John Ross' Company, 
Third Battalion, First Establishment, 
New Jersey Continental line, March 5, 
1776 ; promoted First Lieutenant, July 
19, 1776. This battalion served in the 
expedition to Canada and took an active 
part in the operations before Quebec in 
May and June 1776. He was commission- 
ed captain in Third Battalion, second 
establishment, New .Jersey Continental 
line, Nov. 29, 1776, and died in service 
in April 1777, during the Revolutionary 
War." 

Adj. Geu. Stryker has also William 
Gordon, a minute man of Monmouth 
Couuty Militia, also another a minute 
man in the Middlesex Militia, and also 
a William Gorden, who served as a 
private in the Fourth Company, Captain 
John Burro wes commanding. Colonel 
Oliver Spencer's Regiment. Continental 
Army, served in the Indian Campaign 
against the Six Nations in Western 
Pennsylvania from May to November, 
1779, also served as a private in Captain 
Jonathan Holmes' Company, Second 
Regiment, New ersey Continental line, 
during the Revolutionary War. There 
is tradition that William Gordon, the 
father of the "old sexton," was buried 
during his time, opposite the mon- 
ument to the "old sexton," and that his 
sou William was buried in the same plot 
of David Gordon. These records are 
very conflicting, who can give correct? 

The following are certified records at 
Trenton : "It is certified, that the rec- 
ords of this office show that David Gor- 



don served as a private in the Eastern 
Battalion, Morris County, New Jersey, 
Militia ; also as a private in the New 
Jersey State Troops ; also private in the 
First Battalion, Second Establishment : 
New Jersey Continental Line, and in 
the Sixth Company commanded by Cap- 
tain Jeremiah Ballard, Third Battalion, 
Second Establishment ; served in the 
Indian Campaign against the six na- 
tions in Western Pennsylvania from 
May to November, 1779 ; private in Cap- 
tain Alexander Mitchell's Company, 
First Regiment ; detailed to Colonel 
Francis Barber's New Jersey Light In- 
fantry Battalion, and served in the Vir- 
ginia Campaign from April to October, 
1781 ; took part in the seige of Yorktown, 
and was present in the battle of York- 
town and surrender of Lord Cornwallis, 
October 19, 1871,— during the Revolu- 
tionary War." The following are the 
records from the War Department at 
Washington, D. C, "The records of 
this office show that David Gordon en- 
listed July 24, 1777, as a private in Cap- 
taiu Jeremiah Ballard's Company, Third 
New Jersey Regiment, commanded by 
Colonel Elias Dayton, Revolutionary 
War to serve three years. His name ap- 
pears on the rolls from June 1777, to 
August 1780, without additional data." 
The records also show that, "David 
Gordon served as a private in the 5th 
company of foot, first New Jersey regi- 
ment, commanded by Colonel Mathias 
Ogden, Revolutionary War. He enlist- 
ed, date not shown, to serve during the 
war. His name appears on the rolls for 
January, 1781, to February, 1783, with- 



234 



out additional data." The records 
further show that, "David Gordon en- 
listed, date not stated, as a private in 
Captain Jonathan Dayton's Company, 
New Jersey regiment, commanded by 
Colonel Mathew Ogden, Revolutionary 
War, to serve during the war. He 
joined March 1, 1783, and his name is 
borne on the rolls for March and April, 
without additional data." 

As David Gordon was born Oct. 23, 
1759, monumental record Sept. 22, it will 
show that he enlisted before he was 18 
years of age, and continued in the service 
nearly six years. His father, William, 
was 40 years of age, and his grandfather, 
Joshua, in the 60's. David Gordon died 
July 23, 1852, the funeral sermon was 
preached by Rev. Barnabas King from 
text, 1 Peter 4th chapter 7th verse. 

Joshua Gordon may have had a broth- 
er William, as the first mortgage on rec- 
ord at Morristown, N. J., is as follows : 
"An abstract of mortgage from William 
Gordon and Jemima his wife, of Han- 
over, in the County of Morris, and 
Province of New Jersey, to David Ogden, 
of Newark, in the County of Essex, and 
province aforesaid. Dated the 5th July, 
1765, of all that tract of land, situate 
lying and being at Hanover, in the 
County of Morris aforesaid, containing 
eighty-one acres and seventy- three 
perches, and is bounded northerly and 
easterly, partly by the land of Benja- 
min Howell, and partly by the land of 
Zachariah Baldwin deceased, and south- 
erly and easterly by land of Samuel 
Parrit, being the plantation whereon 
the said William Gordon now lives and 



by him purchased of Samuel Parrit, for 
the sum of one thousand and seventy- 
seven pounds and ten shillings current 
money of New Jersey at eight shillings 
the ounce to be paid on the twenty-first 
day of May next, expiring the date of 
said mortgage with lawful interest for 
same. 

Recorded the 8th day of August, 1765, 
by me — A. Moore, D. Clerk." 

From this and other records it will 
show that this Gordon family was early 
located in Morris county, the exact loca- 
tion of Joshua and William is not 
known, but it is probable at or near 
Rockaway.

In some of the old Rockaway records 
mention is made of one Charles Gordon, 
a possible resident of Rockaway, and a 
probable brother or son of Captain Will- 
iam Gordon. He was born 1775, died 
1815. The marriage records at Morris- 
town County Clerks Office, have his 
marriage to Hannah Perkins May 10, 



2 37 



1795, by Ebenezer Ooe, J. P., and a mar- 
riage (2) to Elizabeth Perkins, probably 
sisters, Mar. 2, 1799, by Rev. John J' 
Carle, of Rockaway. He had children : 
Lewis, born Dec. 14, 1791, who married 
Hannah Gard, daughter of Captain 
Daniel, and died Aug. 1876 ; Isaac, who 
lived near Boon ton, was murdered and 
robbed by George Ackers or Ackerman, 
who was hung for the murder at Morris- 
town about forty years ago. Isaac had 
a sou Samuel in the war of '61-5, and 
died near Booutou July 1900. Eliza, 
married John Harvey ;Charles, Deborah, 
married Michael Doleu ; Sarah, married 
John Mills ; Stephen, Amanda, married 
John Thorn ; Hannah, married Godfrey 
Maun. 

Lewis and Hannah (Gard) Gordon 
lived at or near Berkshire Valley, and 
had children : William A., born Mar. 26, 
1820, married Amy C. Dickersou, died 
Apr. 1, 1861. She was born Apr. 26, 1824, 
died Aug. 5, 1895. Both buried at Berk-

25. 1824, married Sarah E., daughter of

miu C, born Nov. 30, 1848. He married 
(1) Jennie Maria, daughter of Job A. 
Talniage, Apr. 13, 1871. She was born 
June 25. 1851, died June 2, 1875, buried 
at Hill Cemetery. (2; Frauces Shuster, 
daughter of Jacob, Sept. 20, 1880, aud 
had sou Lewis, born Feb. 17, 1886. 

David Gordon, or Gaudeu, a probable 
brother of Joshua, born about 1724, aud 
died Feb. 7, 1790, was resident at Rock-

Morristown : Mary, Samuel, Jeremiah, 
Hopestill, John, Providence, William, 
Mary, Joseph, David, Robard and Seth. 
He was resident at Rockaway after 
1780. 

Since writing the above, I have 
copied the following facts taken 
from the original Bible Records of 
Timothy Southard, now in possession of 
Frederick Gordon, of Boonton. This 
important record will correct some state- 
ments found in the Southard and Palmer 
families, and is further connected with 
the Gordon family. The records were 
formerly held by David Gordon, the 
"old sexton." 

Timothy Southard, born Oct. 6, 1736, 
married Susanna Sworden May 16, 

1762. Tradition has that Timothy 
Southard served in the Revolutionary 
War, and died from the effects of ser- 
vice Jan. 31, 1777. At the bottom of 
said record, in another hand writing, is 
Timothy Southard died Jan. 31, (date of 
year torn), aged 40 years, 3 mouths and 
25 days, this would make date of death 
as above. 

Susanna Randal died Oct. 16, 1796, 
aged 55 years. She was born Apr. 23, 
1741, and married second John Randal, 
of Denville. Susanna Sworden had a 
sister Sarah, who married Stephen 
Beach aud lived opposite Denville depot. 
All are probably buried at Rockaway, 
but no records of same. Children : 
Anne, (also called Nancy), born May 4, 

1763. She married David Gordon, died 



238 



Feb. 1859, aged 89 years. Buried at 
Rockaway. Mary, born Mar. 27, 1795. 
No other records. Married but name 
unknown. Amy, born Aug. 20, 1769, mar- 
ried Moses Hopping, who lived at and 
owned Weldou, and afterwards Hope 
well, was forgeman, and owned forges 
there. Date of death and place of burial 
unknown. Phebe, born Oct. 2, 1772, 
married William Mitchel. He was a 
tailor by trade, lived at Franklin, and 
removed to Ohio. No other records. 
Neomi, born, (name of mouth torn), 5, 
1775, married Silas Palmer, lived at 
Rockaway, gives date of birth that of 
Phebe, Oct. 2, 1772, which is an error. 
Children — see Palmer family. Silas, 
date of birth wholly toru, probably 
about 1777. Silas was married, name 
unknown. He had a son Timothy, who 
taught school many years, was a lawyer 
and died near Lake Hopatcoug, N. J. 
A daughter Mary married Levi Harvey. 
Silas lived near Rockaway and was 



burned to death by falling in a charcoal 
pit, which he was attending. 

Of the children of David Canfield, 
who married Deborah, a sister of Thom- 
as Kinney, Samuel is said to have 
served in the Revolutionary War ; 
Timothy, lived and died near Cran- 
berry Pond, now Silver Lake, N. J. ; 
Phebe, married, name unknown, and 
lived at Hibernia, N. J. ; Henry, no rec- 
ords ; David, married and lived at, 
Franklin, where Joseph Zeek now lives, 
and Experience, called "Peeney" never 
married, lived with her brother David. 
Both buried at Rockaway, but no rec- 
ords of burial. 

The Thomas Kinney above mentioned 
was born 1731, died Apr. 3, 1793, married 
Elizabeth Gordon, a probable daughter 
of Joshua, was born 1736, died Apr. 23, 
1789. He had children baptized at Mor- 
ristown : John and Jabish, June 22, 
1760; Abraham, Sept 26, 1762. 



Clx ftarriman familp. 



It may be well to mention some of the 
peculiarities of autography and pronun- 
ciation of our early settlers. They were 
a plain people, without time or inclina- 
tion to show great learning, and general- 
ly made themselves comfortable and 
happy with the use of five hundred well 
chosen words of the English language. 
Words of three or more syllables were 
frequently contracted to two in proper 
names, with accent on the first. This 
Harrimau or Herrimau was reduced to 
Herman, and occasionally written so. 
Harrison to Hars'n, Casterliue to Catlin, 
Shawauguck to Shongum, Elizabeth- 
town to 'Lisbeth, New York to York. 
Custom "nick- named" the given- names 
of persons, and sometimes wholly 
changed them. The final e and the 
abominable final k were seldom used in 
writing which probably gave Webster 
the American idea. 

John Harrimau was a well-to-do inn 
keeper in New Haven, Ct , in 1646. He 
had wife Elizabeth. His sou John was 



baptised at New Haven Jan. 24, 1647, 
attended Harvard College, married Han-' 
nah Bryan, a daughter of Richard, of 
Milford. Ct., Nov. 20, 1672. She was 
born 1654. He was a settled pastor of 
the first Presbyterian church at Eliza- 
bethtowu, N. J., Oct. 1, 1687. He was 
given a laud grant of one hundred acres 
by the Proprietors Feb. 20, 1693. 

Children : John, born 1674, married 
Abigail Whitehead, daughter of Isaac, 
some authorities say of Morristown, N. 
J., others of Elizabethtown. Isaac 
Whitehead and wife Mary Brown had 
children born at New Haven : Susanna, 
Isaac, Mary, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph, 
Grace, removed to Elizabethtown 1664 
aud had Nathaniel and Abigail* who 
married John Harrimau. The White- 
head family probably removed to Morris 
county at a later date. John and Abigail 
had children : David, who was i»t Yale 
College in 1711 ; Hannah, born 1693, 
married John Hendricks, buried at Eliza- 
beth Mar. 15, 1732; Abigail, married

ville was not known at this date, being 
named about the time of the Revolution 
from John Den, who settled near the 
Den Brook where it unites with the 
Rockaway River. Joseph died 1758, 
and was probably buried at the "Harri-

bullets for the army. His family was 
well cared for, but he was not allowed

Ox mil Familp. 



Family tradition- has it that Peter Hill 
came from Germany and first settled in 
Vermont, where he married Anne Mar- 
garet, or Marguerite, name unknown. 
She was of French descent from the 
early settlers of Vermont. The family, 
as nearly all the children were born in 
Vermont, came to New Jersey and set- 
tled about one mile north of Morris 
Plains, on what is now known as Sires 
farm, in 1768, if not previous to that date. 
Both were received by letter at the 
Presbyterian church at MOrristown, 
July 30, 1789, at which time their young- 
est child, Abigail, was baptized. She 
was born probably in Morris Plains Apr. 
8, 1769. No further records of Abigail. 
Peter Hill was born in Germany 1721, 
date of marriage in Vermont unknown. 
Died at Morris Plains of asthma Jan. 
18,1781. His wife was born 1780, died 
Jan. 18, 1782, of fever, just five years pre- 
vious to the death of her husband ; 
buried at Morristown. 

Peter, perhaps the oldest son, when a 



young man worked at Mt. Hope, as one 
of the liveried attendants to John Jacob 
Faesch, Esq. On one occasion, it is re- 
lated, that while assisting Faesch to 
mount his horse, the horse shied and 
Faesch fell to the ground. Faesch being 
a lame man, always carried his heavy 
gold mounted cane with him, and not 
having the temper of an angel, after 
what had happened, struck young Peter 
over the head with his cane— Peter's 
Dutch and French were both up, and 
the aristocratic Faesch received a very 
severe chastisement from the hands of 
Peter. Peter afterwards married Chari- 
ty Badglev Apr. 16, 1781. Had children : 
Rachel, born June 4, 1782 ; Daniel, born 
Sept. 11, 1783; Elizabeth, born Sept. 4,

ristown. After this date, he emigrated 
with his family with the many who 
went West, and all further traces of his 
family are lost. Of Peter's brother Na- 
thaniel, we have no records. He proba-

Ok PerriiK Familp. 



The Perrine, (Perrin, Perrine, Periue, 
Perryn), families of New York, New 
Jersey and Virginia are the descendants 
of Daniel Periue, a French Huguenot, 
who sailed from the Isle of Jersey in 
ship Philip, July 29, 1665. in the train 
of Sir George Carteret. 

Count Perrin, a refugee from France, 
is supposed to have been the head of the 
Periue family of which Daniel Periue, 
of Staten Island, is supposed to be a 
member. However, it is impossible to 
obtain consecutive records of the 
Huguenot families, owing to the gener- 
al destruction of the Protestant 
churches, the houses and the private 
papers of these heroic religionists. 

In anticipation of the revocation of 
the Edict of Nantes, which pro- 
fessed to allow the Freuch Protest- 
ants free exercise of religious wor- 
ship, Jaud full ownership of their es- 
tates, thousands of the best families of 
the kiugdom of Louis XIV began a 
gradual exodus from their beloved conu- 



try about the year 1680, avoiding the 
reign of dire persecution where mar- 
riages were declared void, property for- 
feited to the crown, children imprisoned 
in convents and preachers murdered. 

England, Holland, Brandenburg, 
Switzerland and some of the Channel 
Islands had long given protection to the 
pious victims of confiscation and banish- 
ment, glad to extend welcome and adop- 
tion to soldiers and scholars, craftsmen 
and artificers expelled by an unwise na- 
tion. 

Since the massacre of St. Bartholo- 
mew 1572, colonists of the Reformation 
had dwelt in peace and seclusion in 
these alien lauds. To these distressed 
brethren another decree of destruction 
and death, like the knell of Saint Ger- 
main d' Amperriors, dinned its appalling 
peals through the century long night of 
anxious miserableness and the panic of 
flight for life began. 

The West Indies and the Americau 
colonies had also given refuge to hope- 



258 



less men, women and children of French 
nationality, many of their descendants 
having settled in Morris county. Previ- 
ous to the advent of Daniel Perine, of 
Staten Island, John Perryn, aged 21, 
from London, Aug. 10, 1635, who ap- 
pears to have been a kinsman of Daniel, 
had resided at Baintree, Mass. 

The first marriage license issued in 
the Elizabethtown plantation of New 
Jersey, Feb. 18, 1666, was for Daniel 
Perine, of Staten Island, and Maria

Che Stickle Familp. 



That it may be convincing proof to 
some who have followed my genealogi- 
cal sketches of the old families, that they 
are not written at random at an idle 
hour, but that many of them have taken 
months to complete as they are now. 
To those who have had an experience in 
hunting up their own ancestry I need 
not add anything to these facts. 

We go abroad, frequently, to get the 
news from home, and in this way I 
have given skeleton lists, where it has 
been possible to get desired informa- 
tion, these have passed through many 
experts for additions and corrections, 
before given to the public. 

My points of research have been to 
get copies from the original records 
that have been taken to the pioneer 
homes of the West, East, North and 
South. These people have been in- 
terested, they have been glad to give 
and receive any information regarding 
the old families, and with the consent 
of Mr. Samuel Stickle, of Santa 



Barbara, Oal., I will give one of these 
letters as written at random, a few data 
may be given in parenthesis to complete. 
Mr. Stickle left Rockaway nearly fifty 
years age, but he still knows something 
of its history and its people and will be 
appreciated for many valuable historical 
incidents. 

"In answer to your inquiry as to what 
I could give you in relation to the early 
history of the Stickle family, I will state 
such traditions as were told me in my 
younger days by older members of our 
family. 

"It was commonly understood -that 
about the year 1700, that a youth by the 
name of Stickle took passage on a vessel 
just ready to sail from the port of 
Amsterdam in Holland for New Amster- 
dam, America. 

"Some stories had it that he paid a part 
of his passage money, another that he 
was a stowaway and another, and the 
one considered nearest the truth, was 
that he was kidnapped and brought ou 
board the vessel and carried to New 
Amsterdam and sold for the price of his 
passage. All agree, however, that he 
was sold for the price of his passage, 



26 1 



as was the rule in those times, in 
regard to all persons iudebted to the 
ship for carrying aud uot paying their 
ocean fares. 

"What his given name was I never 
heard mentioned. There was some 
question raised as to the name of Stickle 
as it is now written. Some claimed that 
the name was spelled Steikel, others 
thought Steckel. aud others were of the 
opinion that Steigel was the proper 
name in the Dutch vernacular. 

"I never gave this poiut much thought. 
In traveliug in Miuuesota in the year 
1867, I met a geutlemau who was di- 
rect from Amsterdam who registered at 
tue hotel where I was at the time, aud 
wrote the name Stickle just as we do. 
He was a man of intelligence and means 
and stated to me that his name had 
beeu spelled that way for many genera- 
tions iu his family, and that they were 
an old and numerous family in Holland 
at that date, 1867 I conclude from this 
circumstance that the name is Stic£lo, 
and has been for two hundred years at 
least. 

"I have before me a fragment of an 
old family record, which starts off just 
as I copy it, as follows : 

" "February 22, A. D. 1763, was Peter 
Stickle married to Elizabeth Parliamau. 
Elizabeth Parliamau was born October 
4, 1743. Aug. 3, A. D 1763, was boru 
their first son, George ; May 10, was 
born their second son, Peter, 1765; 
March the 16, 1767, was boru Edward, 
their third sou ; May 30, 1769, was 
boru James, their fourth sou ; March 
21, 1771, was born Jacob, their fifth 
son; November the 9th, 1772, was 
born Ann, their first daughter; Oc- 
tober 11th, 1776, was born Elizabeth, 
their second daughter; March 21, 1779, 
was boru John, their sixth and last 
son.' " 

" 'Then follows the record of George 
Stickle's family : George and Sarah 
(Beamau) Stickle married the 2nd dav 
of March 1783. Sarah Stickle, wife o"f 



George Stickle, was boru the 13th day of 
Juyl 1765. Their first sou, Hubbard S. 
Stickle, was boru 4th of Sept. 1783; 
their second sou, George Stickle, was 
boru 11th of March 1786 ; their third 
sou, David Stickle, was born March 28, 
1788; Peter Stickle, their fourth son, 
was born May the 16th, 1790 ; Parlia- 
mau Stickle, their fifth sou, was boru 
the 6th day of May, 1792 ; April J10, 
1794, was Beaman Stickle, their sixth 
son, born ; March 12th, 1796, was Maria 
Stickle, their first daughter, boru ; Nov. 
21st, 1798, was boru their seventh and 
eighth sous, Washington 1st and Adams 
2nd ; 1802, Feb. 2, was boru their ninth 
sou, named Mahlou. At this poiut the 
record ends. There were two children 
born later : Chileou, (born Mar. 14, 
1S04,), aud Sarah, (boru July 5, 1807.) , 

" 'It was always understood that the 
Peter Stickle here first mentioned was 
one of three brothers, and that this Peter 
Stickle settled iu New Jersey, and that 
one brother settled in Eastern Peunsyl- 
vauia and oue tin Central New York. 
This is undoubtedly true, as I have met 
personally aud conespouded with others 
of the Stickle family from both Ceutral 
New York and Eastern Pennsylvania, 
aud all agree uuiformly that they are 
one of the branches of three brothers.' 

"Peter Stickle, the first mentioued, 
probably lived and died at what was 
once kuowu as the Terhune place in the 
Rockaway Valley. The farm lying 
across the valley jutting on what used 
to be known as the Torn mouutain on 
the south east and again ■it the hills 
across the valley on the north east. He 
and his wife are buried on this farm. 
Fifty years ago their graves were well 
kept, but had no monument. I do not 
kuow who owus ; the property at this 
time. (Peter F. Cook). When I last 
visited this buryiug place the property 
was owned by Robert Lash who mar- 
ried a daughter of George Stickle, 
(Sarah). 

•'Iu relation to the Stickle family at the 



262 



present, I am certain they are pretty 
well scattered over the world. Three 
of George Stickle's brothers migrated to 
Vermont early in the last century. They 
were Peter, Edward and and Jacob. I 
have met several of these, or this branch 
of the family. Some in Wisconsin, 
some in Minnesota, some in Illinois, and 
also in Iowa and Missouri. 

"There was another member of the 
family named Nathaniel Stickle, that I 
have always supposed was a brother of 
my grandfather, George Stickle. He 
was an expert mill wright. He built the 
first grist mill at Horse Pound, (near 
Hibernia). He migrated to the lake 
countries, or started to go there, and was 
lost sight of by all those living in Jersey. 

"When I came to this state, (Cali- 
fornia), in 1888, I had a letter dropped 
iu my P. O. Box, which I opened, sup- 
posing it was for me, but in reading, I 
found it was for another Stickle. I 
dropped it back in the post office with 
explanations, when a short time this 
gentleman called to see me and compai - e 
notes. 

"He was a native of Rockland county, 
N. Y., and was not aware of the fact 
that there were any other Stickles in ex- 
istence, and from their own family. 
Now this Nathaniel Stickle when he 
migrated was a bachelor. He probably 
carried his kit of tools along, and in the 
counties of Rockland and Dutchess, N. 
Y., he saw nice running streams and 
good water power, and so he probably 
stopped, and began to follow his calling, 
and being an expert, he prospered and 
grew up with the country. 

"There is quite a family of them in 
those counties all claiming to be the de- 
scendants of the expert mill wright, 
who married, and ended his days iu that 
region, only leaving the small scrap of 
history that he came from New Jersey. 

"In my travels I have seen members 
of our family in pretty much all classes 
and conditions. I.suppose every north- 
ern state had one or more members of 



this family in the Union army during 
the Rebellion, and have no doubt what- 
ever about their being represented in 
the Confederate armies, although I 
never chanced to meet one. 

"In civil life I have seen them occupy- 
ing the judge's bench, the lawyer's 
place at the bar, the ministry and 
physician's calling, in the halls of Legis- 
lature, and not to be exclusive, I have 
seen (hem in the felon's cell. I find 
some engaged n mining, some in lum- 
ber, while trading seems natural to all 
the various clans. 

"Of two of the brothers of my grand- 
father, James and John, I have no rec- 
ord of any kind. It may be, however, 
that one of them was the brother Na- 
thaniel, the latter being a middle name, 
or an adopted name. I also have an in- 
distinct recollection of one dying young. 

"The daughters, Ann and Elizabeth, 
were both married. Ann married a 
man named (Daniel) Lewis and migrat- 
ed farther West. In the fifties this 
woman made herself known to my 
brother, (Charles Beaman), then living 
in Menasha, Wisconsin. She died near 
there about the year 1860. i have met 
several members of her family in Wis- 
consin and Minnesota. Of the other 
daughter, Elizabeth, I have no record. 
(She married Calvin Ross, of Rockaway, 
Nov. 7, 1795). 

"I do not vouch for the statements I 
have given as actual facts, I hope it may 
be the means of drawing out some his- 
tory from others that may have had bet- 
ter opportunities than I have had. 

"My grandfather, George Stickle, kept 
a daily record of events running 
through about forty years. Had that 
been cared for, many facts and events 
happening in his time, would now have 
a record of no small value, that is lost 
to the community beyond recovery. 

"Hoping that what I have written 
may at least fill out one missing link, 
I remain yours in F. C. & L., 

Samuel Stickle".

Before gatherin up the fragmentary 
dates of the Stickle family, it is due to 
Comrade Stickle as a soldier, to men- 
tion that he has seen service with the 
boys of Company G, 11th Wisconsin 
Infantry Regiment, from Sept. 4, 1861, 
(o Jan. 6, 1865, and it is possible that he 
picked up a few "hard tacks" of inform- 
ation in this Hue of service, that would 
interest the comrades. 

"Hut little is known of the birth of 
Peter Stickle, some traditions say that 
he was a few years older than his wife 
Elizabeth, which would give 1740 not 
far from the record. The date of death 
of Peter and his wife are not fouud on 
the records. As both were members 
of the Rock away Presbyterian church 
and on the books in 1794, we would place 
the date of death after that date, not- 
withstanding traditions to the contrary. 

It is said that he and his neighbor 
Terhuue dug a well on the dividiug line 
between them and both families used 
from the well, which is still in use upon 
the lauds of Peter F. Cook. It is also 
related that during his last sickuess, he 
was unable to use the English language, 
which he had learned, but couversed en- 
tirely in German, which some of the 
family did not understand, and they 
were compelled to get a Germau inter- 
preter, who remained with him until 
his death. He was buried on the farm, 
through which cemetery the canal 
passed and many of the dead were ex- 
humed aud reburied. 

The story of the life of George 
Stickle, Peter's son, in detail is full of 
romance. Bound out, as was the cus- 



tom, to learn the tailor's trade at Frank- 
lin, ran away because of ill treatment, 
wandered away and found one of his 
father's friends, who gave him an edu- 
cation, returned, taught school at Den- 
ville, and later at Rockaway. While at 
Rockaway he made his daily record of 
cutting and ranking a cord of wood on 
the White Meadow tract before school ; 
taught ten hours of school and cut an- 
other cord of wood, returned to his 
home and attended to the chores. 

In this way he earned his first $600, 
which he was obliged to take in notes 
of Israel Canfield, the owner of the 
White Meadow tract, who lived at Mor- 
ris Plains. He finally made the notes 
as his first payment of th 3 whole tract 
at $12,000, with forge, and ore and char- 
coal in stock, but could not sell a pound 
of iron only to Israel Canfield. The 
price of iron went up, he learned the 
bloomer's trade, and by hard work and 
good management, soon had the tract 
paid for much to the surprise of Can- 
field. He sold, bought and traded, and 
soon amassed a fortune in those days of 
$120,000. He married Sarah Beaman 
Mar. 2, 1783, a daughter of David aud 
Mary, (Stausborrough), Beaman, of 
Rockaway, whom tradition relates as a 
very good and pious woman, but with- 
out much business faculty. 

George Stickle, it is related, taught 
night school and suiveying in his earlier 
days, aud from his writing in the old 
church records, was a first-class pen- 
man. He died Aug. 11, 1835. His wife 
was born July 13, 1765, died June 14, 
1836. Both buried at Rockaway.

Che Smith Familp. 



The progeuitor of the Smith family at 
Franklin ami Uniou N. J., is said to 
have come from Vermout, another ver- 
sion is that he came from Long Island 
and was known as 'Bold Smith." The 
Vermont version has a bit of romance 
that may be a matter of history. His 
name was William and he had been en- 
gaged to a girl in Vermont, and the day 
was set, and the hour appointed on 
which they were at once to proceed to 
the dominie's as was the common cus- 
tom, on horse back, both riding the 
same horse. As there had been nothing 
said as to which would take the front 
seat, as, if two ride on one horse one 
must necessarily take a back seat. Tra 
d it ion does not relate as to the real 
causes, but the effect was they did not 
get married. 

Being somewhat disappointed in this 
love affair, he proceeded at once on a 
long and lonesome journey throught the 
then wilderness. This must have been 
as early as 1750, and it is not related 



that he stopped until he reached the 
wilds of Shongom, where he met a 
Dutch girl, who was willing to take a 
back seat, and they proceeded at once 
to the Dominie's where the two were 
made one. Her name was Christiana 
Derling. 

William Smith purchased lands, built 
a log house and set up housekeeping, 
and is said to have had nineteen chil- 
dren. The old homestead is located 
where his son Gerrett lived, afterward 
his grandson John, now as the residence 
of Cornelius L. Smith. William and 
his sous owned at one time nearly all 
{he lauds between Shongom and Frank-, 
lia, then called Pigeon Hill. It was not 
out of the order of the day, at that time, 
for an ordinary hunter and trapper to 
keep the table well supplied with bear, 
deer and turkey, and in the season, 
many of the broad acres of the Smith 
farm were literary covered with pig- 
eons, hence the name Pigeon Hill, it 
was a paradise to the early settlers.

While at work many years after ou the 
Shougom Pond, iu getting out timber 
and crossing the lake on the ice, he was 
accidentally killed, and probably buried 
at Rockaway, as tradition has it that his 
wife was buried at Rockaway a few 
years after, which would naturally be 
by the side of her husband. As there is 
no monument or other records the pre- 
cise date is uukuowu.

David Broadwell mentioned in the

Presbyterian church at Rockaway in

in Denville district in 1792, for which 
he was assessed, for church purposes,
